I Had A Great Weekend

On Sunday... The local lifeboat station had an open day...
All the boats and hovercraft were out in the open, for the public to wander around...

Then, later in the afternoon, the crews staged a mock rescue...

Two of the crew jumped into a kayak...in very rough seas, and then flipped it over ...


Within moments....two speedboats shot towards us from the other end of the pier....
And to a rapturous applause 👏...they rescued the stricken men and their craft....

The show wasn't quite finished yet

..
They then proceeded to put on a show of racing the boats...and spinning in circles....making lots of action on the high seas....

After the action had finished... Mrs expresso and I went for a train ride down southend pier....
The longest pleasure pier in the world....a mile and a bit long, from end to end...and found a live band playing 70's covers...

A fabulous day off....
