Carradale Branch RNLI harbour night pictures.

Lifeboat harbour night was a bit misty and wet, but it did not dampen the spirit's of locals and visitor's alike especially on the arrival of Campbeltown Lifeboat which had brought in tow a bunch of performing dolphins with their young. They swam around for some ten minutes at the stern of the lifeboat tied at the quay.

Despite the weather, once again the members did well to raise funds with all the stalls, hot food and drinks. Thanks to the lifeboat for their appearance.

A wise old chappie :wink: , I have had my fair share of soaking's with all the years at sea. Notice the leader delegated his son.
