Just Boats (5)
Posted by Jeff (Pembroke Dock, Wales., United Kingdom) on 31 January 2009 in Transportation.
Final one in this series..The Old Angle Lifeboat..Without these boats,and their volunteer crews,many more seamen would have perished,around our coastline "They that go down to the sea in ships,salute you"..
We intend to have an American breakfast sometime over the holiday,so any special pancake recipes or hints and tips on your cuisine will be very welcome...And I promise to post a shot of the breakfast so you can all have a laugh at my efforts.

Ohhhhhhh, I didn't know at first glance that this was a rescue boat. I was going to say I'd like to sail the Merlin, but now I understand better what you're showing us.

Great shot! I love the way the colors of this boat seem to pop out of the screen at me! Such a contrast to the white ones in the background.
