Ready to wear - 19 October 2024

            Dressing room at the RNLI boathouse in Newhaven.
No call outs on the Saturday night I snapped this - I was there for a fish supper and quiz night - raising funds.
The crew are volunteers, but the organisation coasts money.  (The national coast, according to the RNLI website is £191 Million).  The money comes from public donation.
Working in a 'lifeboat' area in almost any sphere can be interesting, because the crew members have regular daytime jobs.  These days they carry personal alarms, and when it sounds, they go. 
They RNLI describe their role as "saving lives at sea".  
The rescues that most people know about are dramatic, but a I would guess that a lot of their work is less exciting (except for those involved.)
My late husband and his brother were rescued when they were teenagers.  They had gone on a family beach outing, renting a pedal boat.   Away from the beach, the pedal mechanism broke and they couldn't get back.  Thanks to the RNLI, this is an embarrassing story, and not a tragedy.
