20 not out

Well done to Ian, Station Officer, "the boss" for chalking up 20 years' coastguard service yesterday, and how fitting that he should undertake the landmark 150th job of the year.

As we've said before, 2010 has been our busiest year ever and looking back through the records, this time last year on Ian's 19th anniversary he was assisting in only our 97th job of 2009.

We didn't have a shout on Ian's 18th anniversary, he was probably having a rest.

Ian at the opening of the new station in 2009 - well done chap!
