- The container ship MATE outbound , seen above the Point Lonsdale lighthouse, Victoria, Australia. Ship spotting at Point Lonsdale and other water activities.
Great piece of filming. No better way to waste time than watching these big ships come and go👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥😀. Thanks Daff
Couldn't agree more!
I like the higher filming location. I had not heard of a rocket shed before so had to look it up on the internet. Obviously the rockets etc. are no longer used but is there a coastguard or similar rescue station nearby in case vessels get into difficulty?
There is a coastgaurd base in Queenscliff, as there are a few around Port Phillip. Southern Peninsula Rescue has boats and a helicopter based at Sorrento. The higher location is only possible if there is no wind as it is quite exposed.
@@daff.wallace2267 Thanks!
Interesting. I didn't think ships stopped for pilots to board or disembark ...🧐
They turn to make a lee and the pilot uses the smooth water to alight. During that turn the ship will loose some speed. Generally the ship is still moving between 10-5 knots.
The light load might make the voyage back to China a bit upheaving!
