Hi Lynn,

Thanks for your suggestion. Another avenue to explore.

I see you are from Tauranga NZ. Nice spot. I ran there fairly regularly in the mid 90's on a self-discharging bulk carrier the MV Portland unloading barley and wheat.

Had my first, and almost last trip, in command there. The harbour pilot came in real hot and fast and it took full astern and maximum power on the thrusters for what seemed like an eternity to stop and berth her.
A real "Captain Ron" berthing if you ever saw the movie.

Lesson No1 for new skippers: Pilot is only an advisor and over-ride him if in doubt.

Cheers,
