The humour and shared hardship whilst on duty brings out the very best amongst fellow colleagues. Being a keeper who watches the antics of others pays its own reward—different people’s reactions often produce humorous situations. A laugh it off but will try and do better usually means further complications. The sea and all its anger and fury dictates that you do not take liberties as being ditched into the sea can bring dire consequences. Marooned miles from land for a month of duty means colleagues are a tight knit bunch and trust in each other’s abilities is essential. I was one of the last to be made redundant but I do so miss the Lighthouse Keepers way of life.visualizza meno
