Seeing double? No.
The RNLI relief lifeboat Roger And Joy Freeman (LB 17-31) stopped over at Campbeltown this afternoon. The vessel was heading back to Rhu from Stornoway.
They stopped in at Campbeltown for a short break and a cuppa at the lifeboat station before heading home.

Superb pics.J.D.Seeing the life boats reminds me of our holiday in 2007 when another holidaymaker collapsed whilst we were on Davaar Island.I flagged the lifeboat down as it was coming back in to the harbour.The crew did their best to revive the chap but to no avail.
