The High-Stakes World of San Francisco’s Bar Pilots: A Virtual Reality Experience

In this one you will see a couple different times when the Pilot boards or leaves the ship and how they do it. It is always interesting to watch even though I have seen it many time. Hope you all enjoy the video and hope to see you in the comments as always.
