  This book explores the work of the lifeboatmen and women of the RNLI who put their lives at risk - whatever the weather and whatever the danger - to rescue other people in trouble at sea. The reader can find out how lifeboats are launched and recovered; discover the difference between an inflatable and all-weather lifeboat; read about some thrilling rescues which have taken place and meet the team members - both on the boats and ashore - who make it possible for the RNLI to answer nearly 5000 calls for help a year. The junior group of the RNLI, Storm Force, has a membership in excess of 20,000.
