LIFEBOATS from across the Solent and the Isle of Wight gathered in Cowes at the weekend.
Cowes RNLI Lifeboat hosted the get together of representatives and lifeboats from Hayling Island to Lymington on Saturday.
The boats made for an impressive site as they moored together at the Royal Yacht Squadron.
All the crews remained on call.
A Cowes RNLI spokesman said: "This now annual meeting has become an important and enjoyable event in our diaries. Albeit for a relatively short time, we all have the chance to meet reps from all station crews from our local region and covering multiple aspects of lifeboat and shore crews, station management, trainers and coastal safety.
"We do, of course, talk and correspond at other times throughout the year, but this opportunity for face-to-face acquaintance hits the spot."
