To The Heads with the Port Phillip Sea Pilots - Nepean


published on 6 December 2022 71 -

Found on YouTube. Created by "Simon Pollock". Originally published on 2022-12-06.
Flying from Shortlands, following the beautiful HM Orc 181 "Nepean"
Flying to the very edge of VLOS helped by the elevated position in the carpark, also helped by a good strong coffee from Hesse St!

Little known fact, when I was a small child I went out in the Pilot boat from (dad recalls) Gem Pier in Williamstown! I only remember being a bit scared and that's about it.
