NCI Watches: Jan – June 2021

This is a summary record of my NCI watch keeping periods and other NCI activities during January to June 2021 kept for my own records. At the start of the year both NCI Calshot Tower and NCI Stone Point are single manned within the station, normally with a buddy watchkeeper on call outside the station. Later it changed to a maximum of two people inside the station.
