A varied week of training this week. I was given further training by the Chief Tractor Instructor (see pic above)) and recovered the lifeboat after an exercise. As you can see by the stern, Harry Potter, type expression on his face I don't think I excelled at the task - oh well, remedial tractor training for me! Later on in the week we managed to affix our new oxygen bottle to the A frame of the boat. A strange thing happened when we opened the bag - a little leprechaun type chap popped out (see lower pic). If anyone recognises him, please come and collect from Rye Harbour asap, or he will be put up as a raffle prize at next years ball.
During training on Thursday we were called to the aid of a small yacht that had lost power just off Rye Harbour and so we got to tow it back to it's mooring safely - which was nice! Finally one more picture to illustrate the characters at the boathouse - at least I think they are part of the crew, maybe they just wander in every week for a hot drink!!!
