Anyone that has spent some time on the blue water should give a shout out once in a while to the men and women that watch over them. In the US most of the deep water lifesaving is done by the US Coast Guard a Governmental Agency. They do have a foundation and supplements their operations and it is a charity that has recieved a 4 star rating for efficiancy of operation.

Ross bought it to our attention that in the UK they are privately funded Charity.

These people go day in day out into the sea to rescue people who are stranded and most of them get zero admiration from the government for doing it - the RNLI (UK) has no government funding (it’s all run by donation) but runs super efficiently because of it - these guys are you heros they are your friends if you get stranded out to sea so I feel we need to give sometime back to them to give them more exposure and hopefully more donations to help them contiue what they do best.

This is an incrediable undertaking and well deserving of support.  You can help with a donation to the RNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution  They are well worth supporting and their site makes for some interesting reading

So if you or your loved ones spend time on the water please give something to the people that watch over them.
