Never had opportunity to crew a boat, so I sent my money to crew the boat. He don't mind 3am in January for a 20 mile rescue, no my money don't mind one bit! Always put money into the box at the station , could be some teabags or diesel, my money don't care. Glad to give, and glad to help where I can, but than your dad for his service!!
Hi. My name is James and I work for the RNLI in the editorial team. Would it be possible to use your footage in a feature I am writing about this rescue? You can contact me at james_dwyer @rnli.org.uk
The grey squarish part of the carriage at the back is a water tank. One of each side. They connect to the engines via a hose on each side to feed water until the boat is in the water.
