Baltic Exchange 3

On Saturday Salcombe people celebrated the Christening of the Baltic Exchange 3 RNLI lifeboat. Over 800 people crowded in the town centre to see the proceedings. Seven old lifeboats lined up behind the ship to salute her in an amazing sight. The rain did not dampen spirits and Salcombe and Malborough school choirs along with Kingsbridge Community School Music group provided wonderful musical backing. The vicar particularly enjoyed going for a spin on the boat and it took all his strength not to touch any of the hi-tech buttons.
