Local Queenscliff fishing vessel Rachel Maree departs seen off Point Lonsdale, Victoria, Australia.

We get down to Queenscliffe every February for the hotrod run and love watching the ships come and go . Great video

[@daff.wallace2267]

Great place to visit for several reasons. Music, cars and of course ships.

Well captured Daff, you must have a good lens to get that definition. Kudos to those guys onboard, living and working in those conditions is not for the feint hearted. Well done.

[@daff.wallace2267]

Thanks Chris, yes a long lens but when the wind blows it's hard to keep it still and panning evenly.

[@aussiequad148]

Great capture love your videos

[@daff.wallace2267]

Thanks.

The Rachel Maree is handling the "lumpy" ocean quite well.

[@pete9124]

YEP, GREAT STUFF! A decent swell there somewhere!

[@pauldailey4477]

I´m hungry; scallops sound good!

[@maxmackinlay618]

Why did the fishing boat make it out ok but the pilot boat ended up on the rocks?

[@stuarth43]

no way was that handsome wee ship built in Au

[@simontheyers801]

Looks choppy..but big boat is rockn.. could it be possible the wash from the cargo ship's made it worse??

[@warrenscarlett9302]

👍👍👍

[@daff.wallace2267]

Three thumbs are great. Thanks Warren.

[@graemecorder4237]

Is that a scollop dredge?

[@daff.wallace2267]

Correct!

[@geoffcohen613]

Why smaller fishing boats not need a pilot,?

[@edenhunter9904]

They're a lot cheaper to pull off the rocks!😉

[@daff.wallace2267]

The vessel is not required to have a pilot. The skipper would have local knowledge and well versed on how to transit the heads and talk to Lonsdale VTS before they make a passage.

[@heatherhoward2513]

You weren't wrong about the bumpy ride!

[@gwisher]

Pilot can't fix the swell. Local knowledge no pilot, big ships with knucklehead knowledge insert Pilot
