Ad infinitum: there is no such thing as being put out to grass for many lifeboats leaving the RNLI's service. This photograph was taken in Montevideo in Uruguay last June on the day ADES II, formerly Arbroath's The Duke of Montrose, began her new lifeboating career in South America. In the background is ADES I, formerly RNLB Greater London, built in 1928, sent to Uruguay in 1957 and continuing as a lifeboat at Colonia, 150 miles west of Montevideo..
