Routines at the RNLI
"Most weekends, I mean, obviously other commitments and stuff but you try and get down every Sunday"
Most weekends, I mean, obviously other commitments and stuff but you try and get down every Sunday if you can, if you’re around. Wednesday nights we train as well, we launch once, once in the summer on a Wednesday, twice in the winter to get some experience in the dark.
Various different tasks- tidy the place up, maybe off in the boat, just depending how many of the crew are down, maybe some maintenance on the tractor and refuelling, just little bits and pieces, really.
