For those in peril on the sea........

Armed forces week here in Guernsey



Saturday saw the culmination of the celebrations in this island steeped in battle history.

The RNLB had an open day with the Spirit of Guernsey on show. Many a small boy clutching his father's hand was seen to be clambering on board and exploring every nook and cranny.




On this bright sunny morning it is hard to believe that this relatively small but high tech boat is needed on rough and stormy nights for all these yachts and fishing boats moored in the harbour.

All one has to do is look at the number of boats in the marinas to know that these brave men of the RNLB could be all there is between life and death around these ever changing tides and currents around the Channel Isles.




I am sure sombre thoughts were far away as both kids and adults enjoyed the model boat display whilst basking in the sun. All in all a very festive atmosphere at the marina.





My favourite was this yacht " Feel Good".  Fancy marina life?   Come and visit Guernsey.
