ER88 Sea Trials - 16m Pilot Boat: MED-P16

From our deck 12 cabin balcony, some footage of the pilot boat coming alongside Virgin Voyages' cruise ship Scarlet Lady in the Solent between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.

I did want to see the pilot leap from the ship to the boat but in truth got tired of waiting so if that's the bit...
