Just last week the winds were so strong that fourteen vessels had to ride the conditions out overnight, being unable to safely enter the port but he informs me that is not unusual for this time of the year.

ie: "good piloting" is ofttimes... NOT piloting!

I still recall the veteran pilot who was lost clambering aboard his vessel off SF's "hell's gate" outside the Golden Gate...and never found.

Jimbuna · 01-17-23, 02:14 PM

Yes, there are times when it is dangerous and probably most when transferring from Pilot boat to vessel requiring assistance.

Catfish · 01-17-23, 02:16 PM

He towed an oil rig in?!

Jimbuna · 01-17-23, 02:22 PM

No, tugs do that

He navigated a few Jack-up rigs (see below).

Catfish · 01-17-23, 02:29 PM

That is close enough by size
Good job, i am impressed

Jimbuna · 01-17-23, 02:32 PM

Well he is 'Master Unlimited' after all

Catfish · 01-17-23, 03:02 PM

I guess you posted this before, great to see! You have all reason to be proud of James

Jimbuna · 01-18-23, 04:00 AM

Yes, my father will be looking down on him and beaming with pride, I certainly know I am.

Appreciated Kai

He brought this beauty into port the other day.

Jimbuna · 07-30-23, 10:45 AM

I never asked but I know he has a trainee under his wing so presumably they did.

Mork_417 · 07-31-23, 08:13 PM

Oh, that is a gorgeous ship.
That is very cool sir.
