Friday morning.........
Having taken the car to the garage for some new tyres, the Sector Manager picked me up in Wareham at 9.15 and straight over to Screw Fix in Poole.
It was like a little boy in a sweet shop, can I have this? "No" how about one of these? "No" oh please...."No" so we only got the new safety signs for the new station.......at the last minute, I tried getting a team radio, one of those builder types that you charge up, it would look really good on a rescue, set the kit up and have some music playing?......"NO". Shall I just get in the car then? "YES".
Arrive at the newly refurbished Sector Office and help put up the bosses notice boards, lunch (rather nice), back to the office to help with some paper work and equipment.
Back to Swanage, phone call from Police, can you come out to the beach, there is a large party on the beach and it would be good for a Coastguard input on safety grounds.
I must say at this point the youths we spoke to last nice were very good, and today we are too quick to point the finger and say they are misbehaving...last night we had a good chat with some of them and explained the dangers of drink and water....most seemed to understand.
Home at 22.30......!
