Here is a video that made my palms sweat

This is an impressive piece of work by the coasties. Very tight choreography.

Just another day at the office for those guys and gals. Sea rescue services all over the world are amazing in what they do, day after day.

I have some experience with that equipment (not on the sea though) and the teamwork there is impressive. Some mighty tough flying.

It struck me while watching this that among the many employees that I have had over the years, I always appreciated the ones that came out of those kinds of service. From day one their prime directive was to do their level best to work in concert with their fellow employees. Even if they were not brilliant craftsmen, it was refreshing to see the service training come through to make for a team player.

Pity it didn't show them 'jumping the diver' preferably from another location - that is impressive! They did seem a little high for the transfer but the angle of the camera (from the winch head) gives a poor height judgement - Deserves a Bravo Zulu (Well Done) tho!
