00:00 I was talking to an RNLI person a while back and I won't say where, but they said, and this just

00:06 shows almost the care given, they had a guy in the harbour where they worked who was being

00:12 rescued once a week, constantly rescued, because he was going, it was the south west of England,

00:19 he had a bathtub and he was going out in the bathtub with his dog with the intention of going

00:26 to Scotland and he would get just to about a mile, half a mile and then start sinking every single

00:32 time. And they said bless them, in the end the only way we could save that guy's life was to

00:37 break up his bathtub. So in the middle of the night they just smashed it up and that was the

00:41 end of that and that's got to be part of it.
