Avoiding A Collision

As you can see, the Belgian pilot tender 'Ravelingen' is passing us by. According to maritime rules, she (as boats/ships are female) has changed her course in order to avoid a collision.

This image was taken on the Western Scheldt river where it flows into the North Sea.

I thought of you and Raj today Mr. C. with that horrible bridge collapse in Baltimore. This is a terrific action capture with the big spray!

The hull of the boat reminds me of a viking long boat , it must be stable and fast of course. Beautiful photo Cornelius.

Additional comment:

I suppose that my narrative wasn't clear to everyone.
We were sailing at the Western Scheldt river to open waters, being the North Sea (to the right side of the picture). The Belgian pilot tender 'Ravelingen' approached us at fast speed to our port side, and had to give way to us. In order to do, she made a starboard turn so passing us safely at our stern. This avoiding a collision action was captured by me.

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

Mr. C. this is a well timed capture on your part, and the pilot vessel as well. ~ tigs=^..^=

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
