Leverburgh,

Beautiful little ship; well captured.

Thank you Jaap

Just a pleasing shot (and always a good subject matter with me!).

Thank you Andy, I guess your home county has many of these, and well remember the brave souls who lost lives in the service.

A friend of my family in Cornwall knew one of the Penlee heroes (I didn't know him personally) from Mousehole pretty well and were quite cut up at the time as you can imagine.

Any life lost is a tragedy but so many families suffered and the village must have been traumatised

Sehr schön Festgehalten, und spannende Informationen dazu!!

Very kind Walter, thank you.

Der Dienst auf einem Rettungsboot ist ein harter Job und fordert großen Mut bei Sturm hinaus aufs Meer zu fahren

Thank you , Sadly they do not always come home.

superbe bateau coloré**********************

Very kind Valeriane, thank you.

Da zeigst du einen sehr schönen Anblick dieses Bootes lieber Roger,schön liegt es da im Hafen:))

Nice comments Guni :)) thank you!

A nice boat, Roger !

Thank you Ulrich

It seems well suited to its business.
Pity she could not stay there but the new one will do, I hope.

Thank you Jose, Volunteering is time consuming and they have to available 24 hrs a day which is a big commitment.

A very well taken image of this lovely looking lifeboat. Such a shame that it's not being fully utilised. As a former sailor I've always had a great respect for the RNLI and I think it's disgraceful that what is, in fact, an emergency service has to rely on contributions from the public to operate. It should be properly by the government (sorry - rant over)!

Thank you Keith I do tend to agree but also have concerns on how money is spent, they closed our local lifeboat station, so with help from Annika Rice local people formed an independent boat and hovercraft station which went on to save a number of lives at that point the RNLI built a new station and provided two inshore boats, money that could have been saved by not closing it in the first place, (my rant) sorry

Un bel hommage à toutes ces personnes de belles intentions et si utiles à la société !
Bonne nuit Roger.

Lovely comments Jocelyne, thank you.

most beautiful color contrast

Thank you Annemarie

Superbe image !
Bonne semaine. Amitiés

Many thanks Madeleine.

A very good shot Roger. They do a great job and always need supporting.

Thank you, Rosa, the constant demands must make crewing difficult at times

Excellent boat capture! Stay well!

Thank you William

This seems to me to be an extremely well and purposefully designed lifeboat. I also volunteered at our lakes for a few years in this service...
