    • I've told SAR colleagues: Like a keeper of a lighthouse who lives at his station, so I would at a rescue boat station: I'd train, study charts, maintain station, vessels, and gear, and respond to emergency, daily. That is a dream life, one thing I want to do. Help make it a reality and realize my potential, being available to serve on or around rescue boats, train, continuously improve, and help others.
