The black and white Holland America Line's Ryndam is in today, slipped in without me noticing. So good news that it was able to enter the harbour, it is a reasonably large-ish one and a familiar caller so glad it could get in. There is still a stiff breeze..two tugs are pinning it to the eastern arm as i write and have been doing so for quite some time. Presumably in case it drifts away from the pier wall which could be dangerous. So still a wind whistling through...
Here is a dedicated picture to the quiet heroes..the battling tugboat guys..
Look at the waves powering over the outer wall behind tugboat Doughty as it waits to spring into action.
