Don't ever question the value of volunteers. Noah's Ark was built by volunteers; the Titanic was built by professionals.

 

 

When I went into retirement more than twenty years ago, I was scratching around for something to do. Being fond of sailing and enjoying being around boats, I volunteered with the Marine Rescue Batemans Bay at Hanging Rock.

Everything went swimmingly - if you will pardon the intended pun - until they promoted me to radio operator and that fateful call came in: "We're thinking! We're thinking!" Since then I've had lots of time for reading.

Semper paratus.
