St Peter Ports Relief life boat


St Peter Ports Relief life boat


    Good shot Dan, if a bit close tho' ;)
    He was close enough alright paul, it was Buz at the helm at the time, Adrian the bloke i work for, who is a member of the lifeboat crew,was rolling around the bin rack at the time trying to get a shot and i was on the wheel, i could of stepped onboard when he past alongside us!! i saw the wall of water coming towards us so i shut the wheelhouse door, after we turned upside down i opened the door again and the second swell got me! came straight in the wheelhouse, dripping from head to toe ;)
    "Well Coxswain, this is what happened. We were out on exercise (posing for a photo to go on trawlerpictures.net)  ;) when the local fishing boat Sandra J simply capzised in calm conditions, luckily we were not far away"   :o :o :o
    Pretty much word for word to what i said at the time Paul ;)

    Why was the second swell dripping from head to toe when it came in the wheelhouse Dan? lol
    The first swell soaked the second swell Paul, i felt sorry for it, it looked so cold and wet so i thought i would let it in the wheelhouse to dry out and warm up,lol

    I probably came in the wheel house too Paul, Thats what was dripping on my toe ;)
    You dirty fecker!  You should have gone down below (so to speak) ;) if you are going to do that sort of thing, not in the wheelhouse tho'!
    A fine body of men, came forty miles to tow me in last year,right to my mooring.Like being behind a bloody class one power boat .Little old lady selling lifeboat stickers coudent belive I put a hundred quid in her bucket,recon I was on a winner, it would have cost me more than that in fuel to steam home lol. ;)
    Is that a photo of you on the Telstar Squeek?? What fish is that you got onboard?
    I bet she had a shock Squeek when you shuved your wod in her bucket :o hope you gave some money to the charity too ;)
