Cold in thje Northerly wind but blue sky all day up at Avonmouth .When you look at the b uoys mooring chain it is hanging straight down while the ships dynamic positioning system keeps it dead on station.I guess years ago it was down to the Captains skill.
 
Morning Damo.The Galatea replaced the Mermaid which was sold out of service.The Patricia is still in service with Trinity House.
