Dangerous Seas

Bit of drama going on off the Irish coast. Let's hope it all ends well.

An angry sea must be one of the most scary things you can experience.

Looks like it all ended well - Don't forget to donate, when the time comes, to the RNLI !

A volunteer organisation all around the coasts of UK and Ireland that deserves everyone's support. If you are sending Christmas Cards this year please buy them from the RNLI.

Many of the UK public don’t realise that the RNLI has many boats stationed in the Republic of Ireland. It was nice for me to have met by chance a couple of the crew of one of those stations and given a look around when on holiday last year.

They also sell "Mementoes". I have a very nice "ship of the line", with sails and all, which I donated about 3.50 for. Please support!!
