Fenders ? Use the wheelchairs

This looks like one of those very insignificant but very embarrassing events.


The STA man said;
"We believed the bridge was booked, but it didn't open - we don't know why yet.

Poor guy. But I feel sorry for the master.

I see Lord Nelson frequently down here in the Canaries and I love they they work. A bowsprit you can ride a wheelchair to the end, lifts between decks and hauling chairs up the masts.

Re: Fenders ? Use the wheelchairs

I've sailed on Lord Nelson and the other ship (Tenacious) several times and the captains have all been very professional. This sounds like a communications foul -up. The master, of course, is ultimately responsible for the ship but I wonder what the pilot was doing at the time.
