When you are sitting at home in the warmth , on a winters night , spare a thought for the crews of the RNLI who go out to sea and risk their lives in conditions like this to rescue total strangers from disaster.
All of these pictures have been given to the RNLI at no charge, I hope they make some money from them. One is on the cover of the latest 2010 RNLI Lifeboats in action calendar, several more have been used in books, magazines and on DVD.
