SEVEN PACIFIC loading at Irvine’s Quay and then moving away from the dock into the bay before turning around and re-docking again.

As previously mentioned this is the Son in Laws vessel although he is on leave at the moment and already working his way through the list of jobs which require doing before before he goes back ( the most asked question of any Seafarers is " When are you going back"? )
I wasn't going to post this one but a friend said "Yes, why not!" It shows one of the crew on the helicopter deck walking round and around to keep fit. He must have done at least 50 laps when the vessel was moving around to re-berth. That's SEAWAY AIMERY in the background at the Deep Water Berth.
They have quite a fitness regime on board which is very competitive amongst the Crew The days are gone when it was straight to the Bar after your Watch/ Shift, now it's straight on to the Exercise machinery. No "Portly" Crew around these days.
I have taken a lot of night shots but I did have an issue with the settings on this particular camera. Thankfully, all sorted thanks to an internet search for Canon. This was one of a few 'test' shots I did. I do use my tripod to do such photographs. It's usually a long exposure. Thank you for the nice comments.
