A scrapbook of the lifeboat year in Swanage as it appears to me: the characters, the boats, the shouts, training, thoughts and fun

Among other things
Last night Skid spent time going through emergency steering with the 3 more junior crewmembers who came to sea with us. Once they had all had a go at setting it up we then spent some time motoring around in circles (lots of circles) getting the feel for it...or not!

Born in the North of England and a Yorkshire man to the bones (like a Scotsman but with the streak of generosity removed). A sailor at heart with a passion for my family, the ocean, watersports, mountains and making journeys under my own steam. Previously a Submariner and a crewman on the Swanage Lifeboat, I now spend my time as the Head teacher of Craigclowan Prep School, a vibrant and exciting shool in Perthshire, Scotland.
This is a personal blog. The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of the RNLI or anyone else. It is intended to provide a chronicle of a year in the life of Swanage Lifeboat Station, it's boats and it's crew. My thoughts and opinions change from time to time..........I consider this a necessary consequence of having an open mind. Therefor any post is a snapshot of a moment in time and is a manifestation of the various ideas running around my brain at the time it was written. As such any thoughts and opinions expressed within out-of-date posts may not be the same, nor even similar, to those I hold today. Any costs involved have been met by myself in their entirety, no RNLI funds have been spent on this, not even a little. Most importantly, this blog never intends to be in anyway critical or judgemental of those people we rescue. Accidents happen.............

I know that feeling only too well. Not the best at emergency steering.
How does the emergency steering work and why is it so difficult?
Can you not steer to an extent by using the different levels of throttle from the engines?
As Mart said, could you tell us how it works?
