    Oops! Nice evasive manoeuvre by the boat following about 10 feet behind!

    We very nearly did that exiting the Dublin City Moorings on the Liffey on an ebbing tide and in a westerly wind, we were circling waiting for the East Link to lift when our outboard cut out :eek:

    Heartstopping doesn't begin to describe it!

    I was down at the water's edge in Mornington this week when two ships sailed out of Drogheda port.

    First out was the Fehn Courage, I nearly got my feet wet by standing too close to the edge when the wash arrived:

    Next out was the Arklow Ranger, learned my lesson and stood further back:

    Actually, salvage tugs are an interesting pastime, I used to see the Dutch ship Waker regularly, it was all standby until the stuff hit the fan and then action stations... All or nothing on those ships

    Winter, North Atlantic

    Spruceglen-082007-fhh.jpg
    Great Lakes and ocean gearless bulk carrier was built as hull # 256 by Govan Shipbuilders Ltd., Govan, Scotland

    The plan was to operate these vessels on Great Lakes trades during the navigation season, then ocean trades during the winter months.

    The storm pictures below were taken during a North Atlantic storm February, 13, 1987 on an eastbound passage from Tampa, Florida to Ghent, Belgium with a load of phosphates. The pictures were taken by Capt. George Ianiev, who was the ship's Second Mate at the time. The big blue wave was the largest wave the ship encountered during the storm; seeing it hit the ship made the vessel's master question whether they would survive the storm.

    For all your budding navigators out there, a simple illustration that shows how awkward naval ships are when it comes to nav lights

    Imagine no silhouette of the ship, you'd spend a fair while wondering what's going on there....

    Very timely - I'm doing my colregs exam tonight :D (for the second time, so thankfully I don't have to pass it - although I'd like to obviously)

    Just to add, in my experience, any lights at all are a bit of a nightmare - unless it's the two whites of a vessel >50m at quite a distance, I don't think I've EVER seen a set of lights that only include those required for navigation!

    I've also done a 10-hour overnight race in sight of another (sail) boat which proudly displayed his anchor light - and only his anchor light - the whole night long. What you see is not always what you get at night at sea :D

    Nav lights are grand when you are steaming, you can see them pretty OK and with the radar you have a good idea what’s going on, size of radar contact, speed etc…..

    What used to kill me was going in and out of port at night. You get the ambient lights from Shore, loads of ships and other craft, navigational buoys, land side navigational lights…..Jesus at the beginning I used to be very freaked out indeed, especially if the channel in questions wasn’t a straight run in and bended back and forth. You would be running back and forth to the chart table to find your next buoy, counting the flashes, confusing one for another. Stress.

    I remember my first trip, on watch with other cadets, testing each others knowledge of lights at night based on passing vessels (in the Irish Sea, as it happens).
    Spotted a contact on radar, easily picked it out on the horizon, due to the amount of light it was putting out. "The Ferry to the UK" we all decided. Nothing else could give off that much light.

    Nope.

    When it got closer(much closer) we realised our dramatic error, finding it to be just a trawler, working nets.

    Yeah.... no. More like tankers and little sparks of flame. Sod the environment, I'd be more concerned about "big ship go bang". Unless of course, those weapons are intrinsically safe? :pac:

    Thats great video fergal, I pop in here every now and then to have a look. Never potsed here before but came across this and though some here might like it, don't think posted before, not biggest or most expensive but definitely quirky.

    FLIP-ship-goes-vertical-without-sinking,1-Y-257974-13.jpg

    Its a research vessel which can flip to allow it to better weather harsh weather, not sure is it technically a ship as it isn't self propelled but still amazing none the less, article and video:

    A massive illumination is usual at night I believe. They stick on the headlights.

    Must be very difficult to judge the ice, though, if all the illumination is from the ship. But as they need to operate in latitudes where days are very short, I trust you must be right. :eek:

    +1 to this,

    I spent 52 hours on it due to rough weather in 1983 on a trip back from La Harve which should only have taken 22 hours.
