Be inspired  -- read on.
The real life story of the famous Lynmouth Lifeboat, 
​Louisa,
  her dauntless crew and the village helpers during the severe gale of January 12th 1899.
​
An unparalleled  achievement that few would believe was possible, let alone attempt.
​Measure yourself against what they did . . . how far could you go?


 impossible odds - danger - heroism - leadership - passion - sacrifice -
​a unique and life changing place in maritime history.
 


These people believed in themselves. Why don't we?

Whatever you can do, or dream you can ... begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

“The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
By not risking you are chained by your certitudes, and are slaves,
having forfeited your freedom.
Only one who risks is free.”

Zen Osho

In respect for all those who risk their all for others. Never underestimate their loss too.
