Nothing to report Sir!

All is "Q" at the moment....you can say the "Q" word as it tends to come back and bite you.

Training this week was carried out in the station as several members of the team had to work that night, but it was nice to be joined by Coastguards from Lymington and Hill Head who were in Swanage on a 4x4 driving course.
Whilst Lymington isn't mega miles away its still good to share ideas and practises and in fact they showed us a technique they learnt using some rope equipment on a steep slope.

Cup of coffee and a few biscuits later, we put the world of Coastguard right and everyone was happy.

On a team front, I had a nice day out in the Thames Valley area yesterday, Eric is still winning the "grow your own beard competition" Brian has gone into hiding so we cant take a new photo of him, Gareth has managed to "pop" a rib or two, he says he was coughing so hard he hurt his ribs.......(investigations still going on) .

On the equipment front we had a metal box arrive this week, more on this when we have worked out what it is for!

I've torn my Inter-Coastal (Intercostal) muscles as i'm calling them....sounds more coastguardy.

If I eat biscuits I will get better.
