Well the Easter weekend is nearly here and we have been given some smashing new equipment to trial for the next 3 months. We had a spin on it this weekend, around Swanage Bay and by golly she’s quick.

The Station Officer Ian is already proficient on his scooter so who better to take her for a spin. Poor Rid is hanging on for dear life! Shortly after this ‘action shot’ they caught a wave and Ian in turn caught himself on the handlebars (An accident known in the trade as the ‘Boston Ballcrusher’) - ouchers! He’s still walking funny today poor chap.
The idea came from a Lego model. Regular Blog readers will know that some of the team have some Lego Coastguard stuff- and yes we are grown men. For a bit of a laugh we discussed the idea with the Sector Manager who low and behold thought it was actually a jolly good idea. So as of today, we’ve got a jetski.
