"The Port Pilot" by Richard Blanco - Read by Tom Wilson

I had a fun opportunity to get some drone content of a ship getting underway from the port of Guayania Puerto Rico.

A wonderful poem by Gaylen K. Bunker found on YouTube. As read by the author from bis book "Poems".

A wonderful poem As read by the author From his books "Poems" Sometimes it is good just to stop and enjoy a poem. This poem "Ship's Pilot" is read by the author himself. A valuable piece about the nature of the pilot.

Drydocking or undocking is always a difficult task, particularly with a “dead” vessel (no power/propulsion) and the wind blowing on the ship's side.

Bulk Carrier sailing from Seaforth Dock through Gladstone Lock into The River Mersey

Great film about sailing on Kiel Canal (NOK) in Germany.

Brief snapshot of a day in the life of a Humber marine Pilot.
This was filmed a few years ago, 2019 I think.
Some standards and best practices have changed since then, for instance I would not have my bag on my back while using the pilot ladder now, I would send it down using a heaving line.
