St Davids RNLI boarding boat receives seal of approval

The bull seal is well known to the volunteer crew

A volunteer RNLI crew have been given the seal of approval from an unlikely passenger.

The boarding boat at St Davids RNLI Lifeboat Station takes crew to and from its lifeboat.

But the vessel has recently become a regular sunbathing spot for a 7ft (2.13m) long bull seal.

Dai John, St Davids RNLI coxswain, said: "His presence doesn't impact on our ability to save lives at sea at all so he is a welcome visitor."

The boat is currently being kept on a mooring until the charity's new lifeboat station is completed next year.
