Flying The Flag

One of the advantages of living in the South West is that we have easy access to lots of fantastic beaches...

... Today was the second time this year that I've actually got around to going to a beach for ANY duration... Evidently I'm a lousy local!

However, one thing you can't escape while down here is the numerous stories in the news every year of how the lifeboats from the RNLI in this part of the world (and the rest of the country too) have saved countless people's bacon when they've been unfortunate (or, more often than not, a bit clueless!) on or near the water.

Maximum respect to them for that.
