They put a ring of security around the 'boat' parked up so you couldnt get within 100 feet of the helicopters

Aw, I thought I was getting some pics of some cute dolphins!

I'm sorry I don't actually know what this helicopter does, is it rescue? Excuse my ignorance, I've never seen it before.

Im sure its a "Daulphin"... But not 100% sure

Its Dauphin (french for Dolphin) - it is used for corporate, tourist flights - I am fairly sure it isn't usually used for rescue.

I did note all the hangy downy bits under it, looks like it could do fire fighting work as well? Its a rare visitor here, very distinctive sound as you'll know, maybe 'Rick' was having lunch on his 'boat' parked alongside? ^_^
