For those in peril...

So, in it's traditional way, lifeboat week has come to an end with our lifeboat service on the pier. Typically, the ALB got a shout 20 minutes before the start and missed the whole thing! Never mind though, this was more than made up for by the enormous number of people who had come to take part (helped perhaps by announcements on radio solent and radio 2 this morning).

Our thanks in particular to Ringwood Salvation Army band who played so well for us (they even taught us a new Hymn!)

Only 357 days to go till next lifeboat week!

Yeah, sorry it's been a while, life in the real world has been slightly hectic!

The presence of life boats on shore or dock can give everyone a feeling of security. This can make them comfortable and confident that there are people who can be there in times of trouble.
