    That is some admirable ship handling, as you mentioned, by a unique team with wonderful skills.

      Sharpness has always been a friendly little port, long may it continue

    Having a bow thruster is a definite necessity for swing like that in such a confined dock.

      @@ChrisWitts As a child in the mid 70's, My parents always took us for an annual family holiday to Watchet. During our two week stay, we used to watch the comings and goings of the small cargo ships which was truly fascinating to me and spawned a lifelong interest in coasters and general cargo ships. These coasters, mainly Danish owner would often travel to and from Portugal bringing back cargoes of cork etc. I photographed them many times from 1974 through to 81 but unfortunately, my 35mm transparencies were lost during a house move back in the 90's. I remember those holidays with fond memories. The happiest of times!! Thank you for your wonderful drone videos Chris.

    Is there a pilot on board at this point?

    • @ChrisWitts
      @ChrisWitts  2 місяці тому +1

      There was this time. The captain's discretion whether he has the pilot in port. A pilot is compulsory from outside down to Barry roads.

    Nice video. Do they not object to you flying directly over the ship? wonder what the rummage squad were looking for.

    No Code Flag 'H' flying. Indicating 'no pilot aboard'.
