Happy Guy has very kindly offered to donate a large canvass of the second photograph to the Wick Lifeboat crew for their crew room. A very fine gesture indeed.

[wifie]

That is indeed a great gesture using a great pic! :D

[Gronnuck]

Nice sharp shots with lots of detail. The second photos does it for me though because the Roy Barker II is on the move.
BTW Lovely gesture Happy guy

Went along with Happy Guy tonight, to present the canvas to the Lifeboat crew. Had a fantastic trip out on the lifeboat.

I feel so privileged!

After an hour or so in the company of these ‘lads’ they have my deepest respect. Their dedication and professionalism is so obvious. In the unforgiving seas around our coast, the trust and quiet confidence each crew member has in his colleagues is easy to see. Later on, in their crew room, frozen fingers slowly thawing round a very welcome steaming mug of coffee, as we looked round at the various photos hanging on the wall, you could almost feel the weight of a tradition of service and gallantry dating back over 160 years to 1824, and it is still alive and well today in these ‘lads’.
