*Testing out a new camcorder. A Canon Vixia HFG70. Picture is fantastic. Shot in 1920x1080p at 60FPS. However, the external (add-on) microphone is terrible. Going to replace it with a much better one.*
Marine pilots boarding the ms Eurodam in three locations. Nassau, Bahamas. Amber Cover, Dominican Republic. Half Moon Cay, Bahamas. Did you know that Grand Turk does not have a pilot? I did not know that. Enjoy.

The "Navig8 Axinite" is a 184 meter tanker. It is in loaded conditions. two tugs are used.

After the turn, you can hear me talking with the captain about passing arrangements with an inbound vessel, (another tanker).
