Re: lifeboat carol service

Brave souls. Are they the same as the Coast Guard here in the U.S. or are they a separate branch of service?

Re: lifeboat carol service

they are funded by donations and only do rescues, they don't get involved with anything else. even the boats are paid for by donations

Your Coast Guards do protection work ,ie drug searches etc and board ships for illegal substances as well as rescue funded by the government
