Down to the sea in a whoosh

As my great grandfather was a lifeboat man I have always had an interest in the work of the RNLI and it was good to have an opportunity to watch the Cromer boats out practising.
Getting ready for the day




Down the slipway


Once clear of the shore


But what goes out eventually has to come back in
At Cromer aligning the boat for the slipway is quite difficult in windy conditions or when the sea is running.



Some days practising is a bit more complicated





My thanks to the crews

I didn’t know your grandfather was a lifeboat man. I am an avid watcher of Saving Lives at Sea and have a great respect for all those men and women who turn out in all weathers to help the wide variety of people who find themselves in difficulty.
