What does the sea mean to you
"What does it mean to me? Well, to sum up, I’ve always still got a massive respect for the sea"
What does it mean to me? Well, to sum up, I’ve always still got a massive respect for the sea, you never underestimate it, but I think it’s an amazing thing to have and when it’s on your doorstep you should make the most of it, whether that be through work or leisure, you know, or coming down here doing the lifeboat. I mean, I enjoy all of them, I enjoy going surfing, I enjoy kite surfing and I love coming down and going off on the boat, whether it be for a shout or just on exercise, you know. So it’s definitely something you should make the most of, the sea.
