Life saving boat at Mullaloo beach. Life savers still use these boats for certain duties although they rely most on their inflatable craft now. Colours are wonderful on these iconic boats.

I have to thank hotumatua for his advice on swimsuits particularly bodysuit mailot style. The styles I had did not have the red I wanted so after chatting to hotumatua I took his advice on the baywatch style. Thank you so much. So I signed up for lifesaving, sheesk talk about a hard time. However the baywatch swimsuit looks hot so yehhh why not. I still get to have a surf after training although....OMG so sore...
The scene at Mullaloo beach. Life saver boat training is in progress at Mullaloo Beach. This group is listening to instructions before setting out. Its the beginning of spring and the clubs (manned by volunteers) are getting ready for the warmer weather. This boat is just approaching the beach.
Lifesaving pumps... - This is the pump house that circulated the cooling water for the adjacent hall, which was filled with compressors. It was the compressor building which was part of an abandoned mine site. The compressors ensured that there was enough oxygen in the mines for the miners. The lives of these people lay in the hands of the machines....
LIFESAVING WATER
Send Water to Wildlife
Arizona is in a cycle of long-term drought. For our wildlife, this means less drinking water and a bigger fight for survival, especially during the dangerously hot and dry summer months.
As part of our mission to conserve and protect wildlife, the Arizona Game and Fish Department maintains 3,000 wildlife waters, including manmade catchments, built in locations all around the state. These stations provide life-saving hydration for all manner of wildlife all year long, from scurrying chipmunks to thirsty eagles to bugling elk.
It’s not an easy task. It costs more than $1 million annually for the Arizona Game and Fish Department and our partners to deliver water to these sites every year, with some of the most remote areas requiring helicopters to reach them. Since AZGFD does not receive any general fund tax dollars, we rely on conservation heroes like you to help fund costs such as vehicle maintenance, new trailers, and catchment repairs and upkeep.
No matter the challenges, it’s worth it to give our wildlife a fighting chance at survival.
This is the trail that leads to the elephant seal viewing area in Point Reyes National Seashore. The park service really has made nice trails leading to the main attractions in the park. They are easily accessible to everyone. The view walking along the seashore is really worth the trip.
The docents said that the number of elephant seals that winter here has grown to over 500. You can hear the males barking at each other before you can actually see them. The area is quite noisy so don't expect a peaceful hike. But the constant challenges by the males is part of the experience that you want to see.
The lifesaving station was responsible in trying to rescue survivors from shipwrecks around Point Reyes. The ocean get very rough around the point and many sailing ships never made it past this area. The boats couldn't survive the currents and huge surf. There is definitely a lot of historical opportunities to see here.

Golden Beach sunrise.
So wish the sign post wasnt there, but what can you do ? tried to remove without success, not to worry.
I took the short drive from my hotel in the outer banks last week to shoot a sunset at the Oregon Inlet Lifesaving Station. The sunset really blew up on the horizon but didn't quite give me the color display I was hoping for at my location.
Freshly repainted from Juniata Locomotive Works, NS 3496 leads L12 over the Great Miami River south of Dayton, OH with cars bound for Reed Yard in Middletown. The Juniata crew repainted the locomotive with cleaner font, and red lights on the cross buck instead of silhouettes. Props to NS and OLS for keeping up appearences on an important message.
June was the perfect time to visit the Cape, as the beach rose was at peak and the light was glorious! I really enjoyed visiting this historic lifesaving station near Race Point in Provincetown.
Recently on a ferry trip from Aberdeen, Scotland, to the Orkney Islands, at the end of the pier I saw this pile-up of 'bodies' next to a RNLI lifeboat (Royal National Lifeboat Institute) and thought someone must have a sense of humour in the placement of the dummies and buoys.

The continuous genaration of creative thoughts and the impossibility to realize all of them bring us a constant frustration

Centre Island is flooding. The lake has now set a record for highest depth.
Taking a canoe over from the mainland is a great way to take it all in.

The Old Harbor U.S. Life Saving Station was moved from Chatham to Provincetown in 1978 just weeks before the blizzard of '78, as a precaution against erosion. After its retirement from the Lifesaving Service, and then the Coast Guard, it was owned by a private family. It is now administered by the National Park Service's Cape Cod National Seashore, and is located on Race Point Beach. It is open to the public from 2:30pm to 5:00pm daily, beach fees apply. Parking is available at Race Point Beach. Every Thursday at 6:00pm in July and August, National Park Service rangers reenact the historic "Beach Apparatus Drill" employed by the U.S. Life-Saving Service to rescue shipwrecked mariners.
