Lifeboatlaunch Terschelling

During our stay on Terschelling-Island there was a demonstration of the Search and Rescue Services of the Island.
We witnessed the launch of the "Frans Hogewind", the Lifeboat stationned at Terschelling aan Zee.
This little Lifeboat is perfectly capable of roaming the rough shoreline of the Northsea.

Launchvehicle in action.


Disembarking.


Full speed ahead!

For missoins going further onto the Northsea and the Waddenzee, the bigger and stronger Lifeboat of Terschelling-West mostly is put into action.
I actually went on a spin with that Lifeboat that same day!
Photo's of that event will be posted in the near future...
Tomorrow: More "Frans Hogewind" actionshots!

you seem to really like machines...
Can I post a (very very very ) little criticism ? I would cut the last shot
to avoid to have the boat in the middle ot the sea. Anyway it depends of the subject of this photo, if it is for information or if it is more "arty". Do you understand what I mean (It's hard for me to write in english)?
Bye
