Air sea rescue ?

Re: Air sea rescue ?

Excellent shots Mike. I know how you feel.

When in Majorca, I also saw a rescue by lifeguards. I did not post it as like you, I felt guilty at having captured it. However, I did send the pics to the Spanish coastguard and he was thrilled that he had been captured in action (he was only 19). I will post them tomorrow, now that you have given me courage.

You have to remember that the rescues aren't often photographed. The lifeguards, air/sea crew, air ambulance crews, coastguards etc just rush out to do the job.

Sometimes someone might call the press, who might send a togfa but that would be a very low priority at the critical time - so citizen journalists who'd had a camera handy may be the only source of pics there would be available.

Apparently there was an air sea rescue off Camber Sands this w/e too. A swimmer in difficulties and 3 others injured trying to save her. It's not a good year on the beaches what with those and the rock fall in Dorset last week.

Sorry to say the lady rescued off Camber Sands has died. http://www.ryeandbattleobserver.co.u...scue-1-4130634

I sincerely hope the little chap in Cornwall is recovering well.
