10th August 2015 - Looe RNLI shout.

As I walked by the Hannafore Point Hotel I heard the familiar sound of the inshore lifeboat's engines.

From Rock Towers I watched as the Atlantic 75 B-793 Alan and Margaret raced out across Looe bay towards Millendreath.

It is to far across the bay to see what is happening.

All of Looe RNLI's crew are volunteers who respond to the pager call day or night.

Back in the boathouse the Atlantic 75 is washed down and refuelled ready for her next call to action.
