Another one of my PV (Pilot Vessels) series. This time the Belgian Pilot Tender 'Deurlo' in action off the coast of the peninsula Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands, in stormy gray weather. This image was taken in the Fall of 2017.

PS: You can see that the flag with the letter P has been forgotten to be lowered because it says: all (so the pilots as well, who have to be transferred to the seagoing ships) must come on board now, ☺ .

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?

When I was a cadet we till used to hoist the "P" signal flag (the blue Peter) showing that all must come on board as the ship is about to leave. Very good action shot of the pilot vessel.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

That little boat looks like it can take on some rough seas. Great capture.

That choppy water looks green which is probably what I would be Mr. C.! Great capture though.

That is some wave action, and really gives me the sense of power and action. Good one Mr. C. I like how I can also see the water spraying by the windows. tigs=^..^=

The pilot boat capture is good, as always, but, actually, the part of your pilot boat photos I always look for and appreciate, C., are the waves. These in the foreground have such variety of color and shape; their character reminds me of mountains. Your incredible DOF helps that comes across as well.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
