The rescue boat station on Cromer Pier.  The rescue boat is winched into the station using a large winch.  The rescue boats are manned by volunteers, anytime there is a rescue, the volunteers are paged and come to the rescue boat station for the rescue, kind of like volunteer firefighters in some of our small towns.

There she goes!

They do not have boat launches like we do, so this is the way that the boats
are launched and taken out of the water.

It was a beautiful day Sunday to be hanging around the beach.  We went to the Rocket Cafe, which is located in the Rescue Boat Museum.  It was very interesting.  The cafe was great, we sat outside drinking hot chocolate, I had a mocha with Bailey's - it was great!
