This is for my late father, who started my love of lifeboats. One night when I was a small boy, during a family holiday in St Ives, we heard the maroon go off. I ran in great anticipation with my dad, wearing clothes hastily thrown over my pyjamas, to see the lifeboat being launched. I still remember the excitement as we raced down The Warren, getting there just in time to see the brave crew enter the sea in the darkness.
