Great video. Takes me back 80 years to school holidays spent at the Heads. Thank you for posting.
Enjoying you vids mate, thanks muchly😊 geez those cruise ships are big…never been on one so they surprise me
Leaving Sydney Harbour on a Cruise Ship is an experience
Well caught Daff. The ships, the pilots, the weather and the tides
Thankyou, keep warm down there in the land below me.
I really enjoy watching your videos but I wish there were more navy ships recorded. I appreciate our navy fleet is very small and what there are probably don’t pass through the heads very often. Keep up the great work. 🤗
Yes a naval ship gives a sleek bow wave.😎
I appreciate the Love of Our Navy's Ship's; but I have to say; I think We're giving away too much information about such ' things'. We are 'unoffically' in a quasi war situation, and as much as I love this Show, I think it's too much information being made available to some Countries.
Even watching some of the American, and British Ship information abd and movements, while wonderful to see; and the information given out in the Commentaries, I believe is/are too much Information...!!!
Just My Thoughts...
I have worked for Defence.
Very enjoyable video. A good variety of ships, plenty of multi ship views and a good amount of radio traffic. Excellent. 👍👍
The Work done by the Pilots is Outstanding...a Great Job, but not always 'Plain Sailing... 🌊🛥🚤🛳⛵️
You got that right!
Loved this video. Thanks for sharing. ⛴️
Good to see your spotting on RUclips Dave, haven't been to the heads for a long time and Flickr is all done and dusted these days, I keep an eye on your channel.
Yes I have all but shut my Flckr site down. Thanks for your support on the RUclips channel.
Yesterday I was reminiscing with my sister about family holidays at Point Lonsdale back in the late 50’s and the 60’s. So I was delighted to come across your channel. We would always spend time watching the pilot boats bringing the ships through the heads. I seem to remember seeing the pilot scramble up a ladder to go onboard a ship, once by helicopter. Not all captains needed the pilot onboard? Is that correct? I also remember seeing a ship trying to make headway into Port Phillip against an outgoing tide! Cheers 6
Yes it can be an interesting pastime watching the world go by.
New subscribe here 😊
Amazing place
Thanks for subscribing. It does get interesting when the weather turns.
On inbound ships, do the Pilots stay on the ships through to docking?
Yes or till they anchor in the bay.
Great thanks
Do you mean Pacific Explorer? As not aware of Disney Explorer. Also this is fabulous footage thank you. May I ask where are you videoing from as it is so clear and smooth. My last Disney cruise from Melbourne was the highlight of watching the pilot board the Disney Wonder. So cool.
Good point 10 points to you. Point Lonsdale near the pier. A tripod and image stabilisation on the lens is needed then some stabilisation again, during editing as shots are long distance at times. Especially when it's windy.
Like watching ' Thunderbird 4 '.
A busy day.
I prefer the lines of the Disnet cruise ship. It has some beauty over the Norwegen vessal which looks like a city hotel laid on its side.
I read in the New York Post today that "Family of nine left behind in remote Alaska, charged $9K by Norwegian Cruise Lines".
Wow ! Missed the boat.
"vessel"...
@@alanlane3670 correct
When was this video actually taken? There hasn’t been any cruise ships through the heads for some time.
There is a backlog of footage that I have to edit at times, so some are older than others.
Busy day.
How deep would that water be there roughly
In the main "Great Ship" channel 17 metres shallower to the sides.
@@daff.wallace2267
That's not very deep when considering that some of the big ships have a draft of 16 plus m. These ships simply cannot enter the bay.
All more reason why Melbourne needs a deep water harbour in future.
add in the state if the tides.
A lot are at slack water or just on the turn when the tides weak.
Pilot boat lose power at 2230?
Negative just backed off after checking the ladder status at the doorway for the pilot. They drop back to sit in calmer water till the pickup.
I'm sorry to have to complain about this video,......but, it was 4 hours too short.
LOL !
Not much room for manoeuvring.
Sorry 31:51 etc
