Rough weather boarding off Port Everglades. I have had a lot of enquiries of boarding ships in bad weather. The only time in Port Everglades we don’t board ships is due to a hurricane. Otherwise 24/7/365.

With near gale-force winds ripping across the channel at 33 knots, the Disney Dream departs Port Everglades. Flanking her like loyal guardians, the Tug Triton and Tug Eileen surge alongside as they guide the cruise ship safely through the blustery harbor and out toward open sea

Ever wonder what’s it’s like to maneuver a ship over two football fields long? Join me as I sail a bulker over two football fields long from Port Everglades.

It’s 2:00 a.m. and Captain Gary Walley and I are boarding a ship (almost 4 football field long) in rough sea conditions/cold weather (Florida cold - 40’s) to bring into Port Everglades. This evolution goes on 24/7/365.

Outbound Port Everglades on the Maersk Freeport. Very limited visibility due to the size. If your on a boat and you cannot see the bridge (navigation center) on the ship, the harbor pilot and crew navigating cannot see you. Its prudent for small vessels to stay clear of ships.

I've been asked several times to share a video on how pilots board in rough weather. Timing is everything in rough weather.
