From Dusk to Dawn - SOHAR Port

Container ship @ Port of Sohar

Brief snapshot of a day in the life of a Humber marine Pilot.
This was filmed a few years ago, 2019 I think.
Some standards and best practices have changed since then, for instance I would not have my bag on my back while using the pilot ladder now, I would send it down using a heaving line.

Pilot for the Split Harbour

⚓ Leaving Brixham for another pilotage assignment! Shortly after departing Brixham, I was lucky enough to be joined by a pod of dolphins, making the journey even more unforgettable. 🐬 In the distance, you can also see Berry Head, one of the most iconic landmarks overlooking Brixham Harbour, before heading out into open waters. If you enjoy life at sea, pilotage operations, ship handling, and beautiful coastal scenery, don't forget to like, subscribe, and join me for more adventures! 🌊⚓...
