My late Husband always supported the lifeboats, he enjoyed sea fishing so he knew the sea could be a dangerous place, I have had his name put on the side of the new Whitby lifeboat that is being built, as soon as it comes to whitby I will go and see it
I live a mile away from an RNLI lifeboat station. I've a lot of respect for the RNLI and donate to. Them when I can. I'm old enough to remember the sound of the maroon they used to call the volunteers to the boat before the bleepers they use now and my mom saying that's the lifeboat.
In Gordon Lightfoot's 'Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' there's a line which says, "Does any one know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours"? I spent 23+ years on ships and there were quite a few occasions when this line sprang to mind. But these guys set out in weather like that to do what ever is necessary for the sake of fellow seafarers. God bless them all.
@@1234549084 thanks for the comments,but really we're just a group of people doing a job....helping normal people to get out of trouble.....someday it might be one of us and hopefully someone will help us out too.
That saying goes back to the days of rowing boats......We have to go out but we don't have to come back.......I remember being told that when I joined back in the day......didnt stop me
@@dukesy1957 I'm a retired US Navy Chief. I know what the sea can do. I have the highest respect for RNLI, Coast Guards, and other such organizations. Thank you for your service.
Living by the coast of the north Sea....its virtually a way of life to support the boat and didn't take that much persuasion to get more involved......but thanks for your comment its appreciated.......we do try to help anyone who needs it.......no shout is ever refused.
The seas around Britain are some of the roughest seas in the world especially when the sea is angry. I live on the coast of England and on one of the fastest tidal races in the UK . If you don't know what your doing then there is every chance you can die so your comment about "the sea looks so inviting no matter what the state of the weather" is a rather stupid comment to make really
Never seen that particular footage before but imediately recognised the charts as I actually work on a fishing boat based out of Westray. Also my auntie and grandad used to be on the Longhope crew.
@@gh7319 you did well spotting that i hope none of your were on the one that was lost i can remember that day fine i have two videos on here my daughter and granddaughter Heather Anderson playing the The Heroes of Longhope
The RNLI Are the bravest people to go out to sea and save people all the volunteers hit the waves how’s the drive are you actually own a D class from Seahouses lifeboatstation
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Having spent 27 years in the Navy, I know the sea can be a cruel and dangerous mistress.
God Bless the Coasties!

The lyrics of this song tell a treacherous story of the seas and going back home where waiting is love company and family
Always in love with the sea , though never got a chance to sail the seas. Pray for the safety of all at sea.
Great post. There has been no one better suited to sing this song than Liam.
