The salty sea-dog returns...

Firstly apologies for all of the unanswered emails from last week - I've been away on the RNLI Inshore Lifeboat Helm course at the superb Lifeboat College at Poole.It was an amazing week, loads of boat-time, exercises with the larger all weather lifeboats, helicopters, met some great people and returned home thoroughly exhausted.(I should probably point out that the montage of shots below weren't all taken by me and they were all taken on little point and shoot cameras so they aren't representative of my professional work - for that keep scrolling!)A special thank you must go to our boats' trainer - Elliott Herbert, actually Lord Herbert but that's another story, Elliott has the personality which really brings out the best in people, a superb sense of humour and the ability to make any subject interesting and memorable - keep doing what you do Elliott - you made the week!
