FORWARD BIRMINGHAM

Unlike the last couple of days it was a struggle to get colour into any photo today. I was wondering why this lifeboat is permanently tied up in Hartlepool Marina so I looked it up. She was stationed at Exmouth from 1996 to 2008 and is now part of the relief fleet. She'll be having a much quieter time of it here than at Exmouth this week, and I'm lucky that bad light is all I've got to complain about as far as the weather is concerned. Stay safe out there.
