Hi,
I can assure we do not take pictures regarding lifejackets! not our job, just make sure you have one on if you need us !! :roll:
As regarding picking up marks, WOULD I DO THAT, hmmmmmm :twisted:
Most of the time we home onto boats using the radar and the FLIR camera for practise if we have to find small boats in poor visibilty, it just so happens i might know one or two of the occupants. Anyway, as you mentioned i have got enough marks already!
regards
screeming
