Thanks so much - yes, everything in slow motion and very precisely controlled. The good news is that the skippers in the two supporting boats are very experienced and practically mind-read the requirements of the larger vessel. Glad you found it interesting
Thanks Don - yes, some very tight cornering there - but slow and steady wins the race. The skippers on all three vessels have a lot of experience and skill. Glad you made it into dock..
Agreed - good maneuvering, but she needs bow thrusters!! She also wasn't entirely in the dry dock at the end of the video - you can see that her stern was still outside the dock. Great video, Mike - thanks!
You make a really good point - but I suspect that, from new, she didn't expect to be worked in such confined waters. Yes, broke as she was nearly in - it was going to take a while to negotiate those last few metres....Thanks for watching and taking an interest
Very interesting, the synchronization involved in getting the ship into the dry dock is something else. Great video, my friend 👍

@@Aerosnapper I often watch the boats in action in my local port of Dublin, it's fascinating 👍
Wow! Long, but compelling!! My hands were sweating during that last bit. Amazing maneuvering by the crew...and nice waves too! Great capture, Mike!

That was TIGHT! Registration says "Toronto" but something suggests this could be based in Orillia?
She worked dinner cruises in Toronto for some time - not sure where Orillia would fit in. She started life in Australia in 1984

Excellent video Mike. The ships Captain did a fine job of manoeuvring this single engine yacht into a very tiny space.
Thanks Gord - yes, everyone concerned did a great job. Winds had delayed the move - but all went very well when the time came.
That's actually a brilliant idea for video👍👍👍Thank you for sharing a wonderful job💥💥💥I’d like to welcome for relax
Really appreciate you watching and leaving such a positive comment. Thank you. Yes, always good to have a moment to relax.
