The deck hand should be lifting the ladder on deck so no chance of the ladder being nipped and worse still being stretched / weight tested. Then the next Pilot climbs on to a weekend ladder that has the potential to snap 🤬

Video Riding with the Savannah Pilots
published on 25 October 2020
Over the course of 4 days this August, I was afforded the opportunity and privilege of riding with the Savannah Bar Pilots for an article I was writing for a major maritime magazine.
