Ok, I never quite understood how pilots got onto the big ships.
Now, I do!
These are the men and women
who board a ship outside local harbors to guide them safely through unfamiliar waters.
Where that man is stepping off the pilot boat, there is a door that he slips into.
I thought they had to climb long rope ladders to the upper decks!
It's still dangerous work, but not as dangerous as I once thought!
Pilot boat and pilot in Freeport, The Bahamas, looking down from the 6th deck. There were 4 more above me.
