phoenix44 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 It's in NZ waters. Not the captain's fault. Where was the pilot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amtiskaw Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Pilots only take them out of the harbour, Astrolabe's about 15 km from the Mount. Been diving and fishing there a few times - it's quite freaky seeing breaking waves out in the middle of nowhere... I hope there's no pollution :an!gry Edit: Found a channel/pilot guide here I went out on the tugs a few times a while back - my mate's dad was deputy harbour master - pretty scary at night in a big swell, but good fun too 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Pilots take ships in and out. My dad is both a captain and a pilot (though not at the same time obviously :lol: ). If there was a pilot on board, which there should have been - the ship gets signed off to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a pilot on board, which there should have been - the ship gets signed off to him. Why would the pilot still be on board 15 km from the last channel marker?
