Well captured Daff, you must have a good lens to get that definition. Kudos to those guys onboard, living and working in those conditions is not for the feint hearted. Well done.
The vessel is not required to have a pilot. The skipper would have local knowledge and well versed on how to transit the heads and talk to Lonsdale VTS before they make a passage.
We get down to Queenscliffe every February for the hotrod run and love watching the ships come and go . Great video
Great place to visit for several reasons. Music, cars and of course ships.
Great capture love your videos
Thanks.

Thanks Chris, yes a long lens but when the wind blows it's hard to keep it still and panning evenly.
YEP, GREAT STUFF! A decent swell there somewhere!
no way was that handsome wee ship built in Au
Why did the fishing boat make it out ok but the pilot boat ended up on the rocks?
Looks choppy..but big boat is rockn.. could it be possible the wash from the cargo ship's made it worse??
👍👍👍
Three thumbs are great. Thanks Warren.
Is that a scollop dredge?
Correct!
Fuck yeah dusty get into it.
Bradwoods7321 Dusty is on the pilot launch Griffiths now.
@@daff.wallace2267 oh wow!!! Didn't expect that.
Why smaller fishing boats not need a pilot,?
They're a lot cheaper to pull off the rocks!😉
