StoneRoad2013's photos with the keyword: flotilla

"William Riley" heading back to base. [She went straight up the ALB base at the RNLI college, ready to be lifted out - probably tomorrow - onto her dedicated trailer. She's a full diary this year, can't recall where she was off to next, probably somewhere in the London area.]

Definitely "play time" - that looks like the Police Launch and the Hovercraft "John Russell" H-006 ...

Even the various inshore / D-class / Atlantics etc had to do some backing and filling while the big toys were put away.

That's ON766 "The Always Ready" about to lead some of the flotilla back to the Marina berths.

Still milling around outside the marina - some boats will be going "upriver" and others getting back onto their berths at the marina. There are a number of non-lifeboats present now, 48-02 nearest to us.

Looks like ON805 closest to the camera, as more backing and filling goes on.

Various members of the parade / flotiila of lifeboats during the return to the marina, currently twiddling about whilst the boats in front get onto their berths. Nearest boat is 'Dolphin" the ex-70-001 Clyde class.

What I think is the local yacht club's race control station ... One of the map apps lists it as belonging to Parkstone YC, but there are about nine marinas and at least three sailing clubs marked on the same app. Passed by this during the Lifeboat flotilla's cruise around "Poole Harbour"

Playing follow the boats in front - now in the North Channel [heading west and back to Poole]. In total 40 lifeboats took part in the parade, the flotilla was over a mile in length.
