The Belgian Pilot Vessels 'Raan' and 'Honte' off the coast of the peninsula Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands during a summer storm.
This image was taken on August 20th, 2016 in 'pretty' (please notice the quotes) rough weather conditions. I had some serious worries that my camera was penetrated by salty seawater spray. Finally when I got home, it was maintained very well (not by giving it a sweet water shower, lol)
If you'll view this image at full screen size you can see on the flag stick on the bow of the 'Raan' a mascot. It can be that the crew of this pilot vessel was somewhat superstitious and think that it would protect them from danger. But to me good seamanship is the only guarantee for that.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
It looks like a race between the two boats! Very nice shot with all the spray and the rough sea ahead of them.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
I agree to the professionalism of the seamen who work shipping vessels!...safety and common sense is paramount!..
Excellent capture of this fine 'motion' capture

A camera didn't make a great picture anymore than a typewriter wrote a great novel. (Peter Adams)
Those boats look hardy enough to handle the rough seas. Many superstitions go along with seamanship and the flag pole is a new one to me. Great photo Cornelius.

Whoa, a Brilliant action shot - looks like they are racing each other. Those are some rough waters and like the spray from the Pilot boats. Glad your camera was fine after all the salty water

Glad your camera survived because this is a terrific shot. The wave action is really something else.

Those seas can get very rough! They need all the help they can get!
