Some big waves there Adam

 

The third one is hell of an advert for the Interceptors and the last one shows that Pilots earn their wages.

 

Looks like the return trip last Sunday

Awsome Trevor

 

Hell of a training session

Not Powerboat Level 2 that one.

 

No doubt in a special area

 

RM coxns do their surf training at Instow Devon as there is never enough surf at Poole.

WOW!!

 

That IS awesome. Esp. the one that got rolled.

My son was telling me that the US Coastguards spend a week of being strapped in their boats and rolled over and over until they feel confident in any conditions!

 

Not quite how they train the RNLI boat crews!

You should see the training tank in the RNLI College

 

when they wind up the wind machines it gets so rough it makes the experianced crews sea sick

 

They also black out the room, have strobe machines and huge speakers making it sound like a storm as well as feel like one.

They can invert the RIB in the tank

 

I believe that the RNLI consider it safer than taking a boat out on the sea as they used to.

I wanted to have a go, but they only do RNLI crews
