Round the Island - Freshwater Lifeboat (FLB) returning from a shout (story below)

Round the Island - Freshwater Lifeboat (FLB) returning from a shout (story below), originally uploaded by Rusty Marvin (just dreaming).

LR-7687 - Moving on from Fort Albert to the south side of the island into Freshwater Bay, taken during the J P Morgan round the Island race, originally I thought the crew were just coming backing from patrol, but they had been called out to assist someone.
I do not know all the detaIls and you will know as much as I do by looking at the images below.

If you feel like donating to the organisation or want to know about their work all funded by charity please visit the website
Freshwater Independent Lifeboat operates 2 boats 24/7 in an area up to 30M off shore from Hurst Point to St Catherine’s point on the Isle of Wight.
