  1. Hi, I wonder if I might ask you a question. On the morning deepsea metro came in to Torbay I was listening to channel 9 and heard the Pilot Boat telling the drillship captain that a photographer was on board and would be taking a picture of the ship. Not wouldn't by any chance have been your good self I suppose? I live in Dawlish and enjoy watching all the big ships coming into the the bay. Anyway, happy spotting and happy New Year. Adam

  2. Hi Adam,
    Yes it was me. Sometimes when I'm on board , the pilot boat will call up the Captain to let him know we are going around the ship.Happy New Year. Rodge
