Quickie

The ILB was out for a quick shout this afternoon. I was stuck at home roasting marshmallows over and open fire while on my own with the girls. Hence I have few details about the shout just now. All I do know is that the person aboard the casualty vessel was well equipped and recognised that he needed help so fired a flare to bring attention to his plight. While I'm not sure 'exactly' who was aboard the jetski, I do suspect that someone might be buying a few beers after the exercise tonight!

    The RNLI rescue jetskis? I was impressed at your dedication when first I learned that you even rescue pets, but this is truly above and beyond the call of duty.

    Only because we were protecting our investment in the 'Pilot' of the Jetski!

    Phew! Good job he wasn’t a member of the lifeboat crew. I’d hate to imagine how many beers and jam doughnuts he would have to buy.

    I am surprised he wanted to show his face again...!
