00:00My father and my grandfather joined the R&I down in a place called Selsey Bill, down in West Sussex.
00:06I joined in 1984.
00:09The reason why I joined is because when I was about 13,
00:15I remember going down and seeing a ship, a half submerged ship, just off of Selsey,
00:22which my father had been out and took off 12 people.
00:26Yeah, there's a few. I always remember one of my first jobs as a helm, rescuing a dog.
00:33Yeah, basically got swept out at a place called Packham Harbour down south,
00:37and I remember we had to go out and rescue this dog.
00:40And the most important thing about it, because every dog lot was the same,
00:44if your dog gets hit difficultly, the owner will try and rescue the dog.
