The filming was over, but we were still on the Lifeboat in the middle of the sea. Annabel had come out on a small boat to join us on the Lifeboat. So we made our way back along the coast to Port Isaac in the Lifeboat. Unfortunately, Sarah was extremely seasick and didn't enjoy the journey at all.

We transferred by small boat to the harbour in Port Isaac and went to look at Annabel's location from where she had been guiding us.

The tide had gone out by this time and there was a tricky transfer from the small boat over slippery rocks onto the shore. As Malcolm Heyworth came ashore, the cameras started rolling again. The cameramen were convinced that Malcolm was about to fall into the water. Much to their dismay of course he didn't, and they didn't get the shot that they hoped for!!

We also watched as the Interceptor's helicopter flew some low passes over the Lifeboat just outside the harbour wall as they filmed some closing shots for the programme.

Then it was back up to the farm to remove the equipment and talk about our experiences.

All the helicopters were back at base now, including the Interceptor's Agusta A109 (G-MEAN) and I was able to have a close look at it.

There were publicity photos being taken and I held up the reflective white boards as the photos were taken of Annabel and Sean that were later to appear in the TV Times.
