Just on high tide

and a good one at 7.28 meters, the Scot Venture has just left the dock and is starting its journey downstream towards The Wash and North Sea. En route to Vlissingen in The Netherlands. It's riding quite high and I suspect it came here to deliver its cargo and is leaving empty.

The extra shows the pilot boat  following behind. One of the pilots is aboard the Scot Venture  and the other is following, when they have safely passed the sandbanks the one on board the cargo vessel will transfer to the pilot boat and they return to port.
