I've told SAR friends & colleagues: Like a keeper of a lighthouse, an ideal life is where I can live at a rescue boat station... I'd consistently train, study, upskill; maintain the station, the vessels, and gear; help my team; and respond to emergencies. Before I pass from this beautiful Earth, my goal is a modest paid role in maritime SAR, globally. Do you have the spirit of SAR?
