Fairly strong winds blowing right to left. The ship was on the wharf on the left. They made it with just a few feet to spare but it was touch and go for a minute or two
And I thought it was tight getting on and off my berth

Why did they have to turn her around?
Could they not have pulled her out stern first?
Great picture though.
Cheers

There's not much room in the outer harbour, and it gets a bit shallow near the mole. [image]

Yes it looked very shallow, you can see the sand picked up off the sea bed to the north of the mole.
In fact he two tugs followed the ship out of the harbour. After seeing your charts, I guess it was to ensure that the ship made that tight turn to starboard to stay in the channel
