I would have thought Sunseaker paid well in Poole?

Don't know. We looked at moving there about 30 years ago when we had a boat at Cobbs Quay, Mrs filly worked for the council at the time and a couple of senior execs at SBC relocated to Poole so she was guaranteed a job there, she noticed a couple of jobs advertised at RNLI where the pay was significantly higher, I would have carried on as a self employed artisan. Property prices were quite favourable at the time.
Ultimately I'm glad we didn't move there, it had gone downhill a lot last time we visited, not quite as bad as Bournemouth but getting there.
 
I often do weekend trips down there, always enjoy coming through the channel past sandbanks etc. it feels more like Miami or Florida. Mooring fees are a bit of a joke now. We don’t get much change from £100 a night.

I know and the facilities are hardly anything special.

The new quay had not long been built when we frequented it, think we paid about 15 quid a night which I thought was steep. Always enjoyed evenings in the Lord Nelson and other pubs along the Quay.
 
To be fair the staff are very helpful and will always offer to take a line and of course they are full in the summer. So supply and demand.

I always find it funny in the med how people moan about paying £20 for a night on the town quay with water and electric having turned up in a boat worth 1/2 a million.

One of the highest paying employers in Poole, or they were last time I looked which admittedly was a long time ago. There are volunteer roles at the Poole headquarters but in the main they are salaried positions. The Coxswains on each boat are salaried positions and I believe engineers might also be salaried.
The volunteer crews, the people at the sharp end aren't paid other than expenses.

Very much like other volunteer organisations, such as the Red Cross, St Johns and the Red Crescent.
There is a slight difference in that the Red Cross is a volunteer organisation, but the medical experts receive a salary.
The Red Crescent and St Johns are wholly volunteer organisation. But the officials are paid.

The RNLI have lost their way. Not just over being an illegal migrant Taxi service but the whole woke politics that they forced onto the volunteers. Fortunately the new Exec have changed directions and their are many independent lifeboats to donate to.

£7.5m would have bought two top of the range lifeboats.

Except the usual hatred being whipped up by anti immigrant right wingers making up mendacious gossip to tarnish the reputation of the RLNI, like yours, might have caused less investment in "top of the range lifeboats".
"top of the range lifeboats" that would serve the whole seafaring community.

Your mendacious gossip is undermining their work and putting the whole of the seafaring community in danger.
 
When was the last time you did any work with lifeboat crews? I was out in December training with an independent crew practicing boarding moving sailing boats and in September I was doing high line practice with the coast guard something I’ve done quite a few times before.

I know plenty of current and former RNLI volunteers. I also know the new leadership are doing their best to repair the damage caused by the previous leadership.

Around 1/4 of their rescues are illegals. Many long term supporters and volunteers aren’t impressed.

It’s the illegals taking up vital resources that are the problem.

And the mendacious gossip of ruthless right wingers.
The sort that are content to sabotage precious British institutions in fomenting hatred.
