Rowing levers?

Included in the designated crew of my lifeboat in the cruise-ship M/V 'Blenheim' were the ship's hairdresser and a pianist.

Presumably they had, as do I, a Board of Trade Lifeboatman's Certificate, so must have had a stint rowing round Tyne Dock at some point in their careers.

I got my Sea Cadet Pulling Skipper's ticket, will that do?

(Earned age 13, scuttling about Portsmouth Harbour (from the Royal Clarence Yard) in the Navy's 32' Cutters and 27' Montague Whalers - a formative experience.)

The sort of deadbeats who would be useless on a ship, or anywhere else.

They're out there!

They're all part of the crew, they do the same safety, survival, firefighting etc.

This was us at the start of the mixed Randan, 2019. For training we left half of our pints unfinished until after the race, and came an honourable last
