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
