I assume drones don't fly if the wind blows!

On the telly last night, Warship at Sea, they launched a drone off the deck in a decent gale, I was impressed. Maybe the RN has more manly kit than the retail punter.

Sunny drone shots?! - they did well to capture all those anchorages and harbours in the one day; May 23rd last year!

Excellent and a great way forward for easily understood pilotage, in my opinion.
Still, like any advance, backing up with other means works for me.

Needs a lot of work to be useful for pilotage. Taking Arisaig for example, the video shows nothing of the complexity of the passage in or out.
There's a lovely video on YouTube of that passage which may be found by searching for "Arisaig grounding by BBC presenter" . I'll try to find the exact link. It's very thought-provoking.

Very nice.
Good to see the lies of those on here with boats in Scotland, about what a ghastly place it is, don’t bother to come etc. refuted.
Thanks for posting.

Found a link to the grounding in a post by Dylan Winter in Scuttlebut on 21st October 2011. Unfortunately I can't find how to paste links on my phone.

I think that you would be better off with an up to date copy of Reeds.
It is what I used & somehow it just seems to work.

Been delving further into Sail Scotland videos and there are even more worth looking at.

There’s no room up here (no really, apparently most marinas are full). Still nice and quiet away from the Clyde and the rat run between MoK and Tobermory, so do come up and enjoy the good bits north and west.
