That will be cool!

Any chance you could record any radio chatter in Marseille and also sounds from near the helm poistion and other locations on teh ship? (If I don't ask, I don't get!)

[Ballast]

I could do that, if i know how  Holding a mic connected to my laptop near the VHF would be too easy i guess 

[Ballast]

I was able to catch some buoys and channel markers from Maas approach towards the Botlek.

Platform in position 51 59' 14'' N 004 02' 50'' E


Guiding lights on the seperation dam between the Nieuwe Waterweg and the Calandcanal. Coming from sea, the true bearing of the lights in line is 107 degrees.


The 'lower' light, in position 51 58' 88'' N 004 04' 88'' E


The upper aft light, in position 51' 58' 65'' N 004 05' 80'' E


The red buoys and the fixed channel markers from the Maeslandkeering towards the Botlek entrance will follow later!!

EDIT: Added the NW 11 and NW 13 afterall 

[TerryRussell]

Those are excellent!.

I had shots of some of them, but nowhere near as good quality.

Thanks

Platform on the northern breakwaters, position 51 59' 66'' N 004 02' 84'' E

Leading lights and lighthouse at Hoek van Holland


The lower light, position 51 58' 55'' N 004 07' 53'' E


The aft leading light in position 51 58' 48'' N 004 07' 90'' E, lighthouse is in position 51 58' 49'' N 004 07' 98'' E


CA 2 - NW 1, positon 51 59' 00'' N 004 04' 40'' E

[TerryRussell]

Thanks!

The platforms are the AL WIT GROEN and ROOD aren't they? These shots are great, as they give me some different angles to the ones I had here.

And the angle of the transit line on the leading lights was exactly what I needed! Thanks again.     

[Ballast]

Yeah the platforms have the same colours as the buoys, 'red to port'. Except the leading lights on the splitsingsdam, they are black and white.

Fixed channel markers from the Hoek towards the entrance of the 3rd petroleum haven at the Botlek (where the white-red mid fairway buoy is)





All markers are the same, except the markers on the Maeslandkeering (the flood barrier).

The buoys are the standard buoys used by the Dutch Authorities, like the NW and Maas buoys in my previous post.

Terry, did you make a trip yet with a water taxi down the river in Rotterdam? Let me know, im in Rotterdam next week!

[TerryRussell]

I'm going to be in Rotterdam on Sunday 7th - Tuesday 9th.

I'll try to make that trip on the Tuesday morning, but I may have to book another trip just for that in a few week's time.

[TerryRussell]

Now, the conversation that Ballast and I have just had is AMAZING!

We are both staying at the same hotel at the same time next week. What are the chances of THAT!

        

[Nathan|C]

Talk about luck! Have a good time guys 

[Minime]

wow, that's weird, have a good time in the bar or where ever you decide to go

Not a betting person but unlikely!

[TerryRussell]

It is all the more amazing because I had only rescheduled it a couple of days ago, as a result of a Client asking me to change the date of my visit to them.

[--tractorman--]

Still wanting more pictures? I'm going to the Isle of Man in August so I can get some pictures of the buoys on the Mersey if you want

[TerryRussell]

Thanks for the offer, Tractorman. 

But at the moment, so far as I know, Vstep aren't putting the Mersey into Ship Simulator. I need buoys, markers, rods, poles, perches, lighthouses, transit markers, cardinals, safe passage, dangerous water water markers for environments in Ship Simulator.

If anyone is going near Dover, I could do with some shots.

Also:

New York
San Francisco
Marseille
Hamburg
Padstow
Phi Phi
Sydney

would be most welcome.

[Nathan|C]

When I was crossing from Dover to Dunkerque I remembered the topic and tried to get some pictures for you, but the weather was rubbish 

When I get the ferry to Dover next i'll try get you some pictures 

[TerryRussell]

Thanks, Nathan.

I may get in the car and drive over to Dover (sheer poetry) at some time, but then again, I may not have enough time.

I also hope to get to Hamburg soon, but I will probably be recording radio sounds, rather than photographing buoys.

Dover eh...

Could this imply that Dover may be in SS2010...

I will have a look through my vast collection of pics from Dover, see if I have anything useful...

[Ballast]

It is all the more amazing because I had only rescheduled it a couple of days ago, as a result of a Client asking me to change the date of my visit to them.

I was talking to my Captain about staying on board and rescheduling my training course to a later date because im in quite a hurry to get my sea service days so i can sign on as 2nd officer.

Glad we didnt pulled it through 

[The Ferry Man]

Not sure if these are useful...?

SW Goodwin buoy:



Far off shot showing location of following two buoys:



Buoy 1:



Buoy 2:



Another Dover buoy, this one is near the Prince of Wales Pier:



Misc Buoys:





Not sure how relevant, the Port Control Tower and entrance lights:



Any other Dover stuff, just ask, and I will be happy to have a look

[TerryRussell]

That's great, thanks!  I can look up exact GPS/Lat-Long postions on my charts.

[The Ferry Man]

There is also a buoy nr the Western Entrance, which marks a ship wreck inside the harbour, Missed that one (I never realised I had a pic of her):



Of course, when Terminal 2 is built, all this will change - the wreck is really needed to be moved for the ferry terminal to have the best possible access/manoeuvrability for the ferries.

[TerryRussell]

Of course, they may just take the easy option and fit the new style wreck marker...

[The Ferry Man]

They could do, but they was discussing about if was in a poor position to manouvre into some of the planned berths; They want to take her outside the Harbour, I think...

[FAST_FERRY]

i go sailing at bala lake in north wales should i bother getting pictures or not?
