I'm fascinated by these guys and how they moor a cruise ship. Turns out it's with a huge knot. These are two of the Dart Harbour crew tasked with tying up cruise ship Hebridean Princess to the mainstream buoys for its visit this week. The line (rope) is massive which is what makes the knot so huge. It's not one I learned at Scouts.

This is cruise ship Hebridean Princess. A modest little craft....in size. But not too many ships have a brick wall with fireplace. The ship arrived about six pm on Tuesday and departed 24 hours later. The first cruise ship overnighter for quite a while.

Every so often Trinity House sends one of its vessels to maintain the buoys in and around the river Dart. Most are worked on by either THV Patricia or THV Galatea, but bothare too big to deal with this particular marker which is situated at the entrance to Warfleet Creek. Not a clue of its purpose (no one I asked had either) but Trinity House send in their smaller ship THV Mair and its crew to lift it up and give it a good scrub.

Somewhat incredibly, the river Dart now has two former Venetian water taxis. Beautiful craft. I'll keep an eye open to see if they take a run out together.

The display team of the South Koorean airforce have been in the UK performing at various airshows.
In between displays they have overflown the country showing off their skills. Probably taking a few pictures for themselves too.

Two tides a day, plus a fair whack of stormy weather does take its toll on the seawalls in the river. The modern long term solution is metal. And no wonder.

Royal Navy Merlin helicopter (ZH846) did a couple of runs up and down river clearly showing off its radar array. That black blob on the side contains radar that allows the aircraft to conduct air and missile defence along with strike command and control. The 'bag' rotates downwards and hangs beneath the aircraft when in use. Whilst properly known as a Crowsnest they are better known by a different terms. Following a tradition started with the old SeaKing helicopters, any craft now equipped with the kevlar encased radar is known as a 'bagger'.

A visit from a pair of RAF Chinooks who executed quite a low flyby as they passed down the river. More pix inside, of course. The only identification number I have is for the lower, second aircaft - it's ZD981
