For those of you that don’t already know..........every single snap on this website is taken from one place -

our garden in Above Town, Dartmouth, Devon, England

Brave bird that cormorant. Click the pic to see a full sequence and find out the winner. Oh, yes, there's a winner alright.

And probably not the one you might be expecting.

17-10-2025 - 11:19:07

The extensive rebuild of Inverdart Boathouse continues apace.

That rock always did look a liability.

21-10-2025 - 12:40:42

It took a few days to make it disappear.

17-10-2025 - 11:19:07

But the digger driver got stuck between a rock and a hard place.....with the tide coming in.

This is the repair man, sorting the issue as the waves lapped around the tracks.

06-10-2025 - 07:44:11

A really good photogrspher would be showing you a pic of the space station crossing the sun.

Here's the cut price version from TVFTDO - a Ryan Air holiday jet returning a plane load of sunseekers.

Passing the very thing they had been looking for.

23-10-2025 - 18:06:52

But, to state the blindingly obvious, the sun is powerful and can turn up at any time of the day to produce its magic.

18-10-2025 - 10:40:39

Lots of shooting and shouting on the river over the last few weeks as BRNC cadets practise their warfare skills.

Here's one of the 'villains' (in the smaller boat) chasing an Officer Training Boat out of the river.

Not the calmest of days.

03-10-2025 - 09:47:19

The Fire Brigade off on a shout across the river via the Lower Ferry.

Not in such a rush that they can't say thank you to the ferry crew.

29-09-2025 - 13:24:33

Somewhat reminiscent of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight - with a Spitfire and a Hurricane riding shotgun for a Lancaster.

29-09-2025 - 13:26:03

Clearly the crows were up in arms about the circling buzzard which might have attacked their young.

But Mr, or Mrs Buzzard had its hands full with its pre-packed lunch. A very sorry looking rodent.

24-10-2025 - 10:00:39

Tall ship Pelican of London has been in port for some time.

Tall ships have tall masts. People get sent up those masts.

Luckily they don't have far to go. Sorry, I misheard that....they don't have vertigo.

26-09-2025 - 20:40:04

Farming never stops.

27-10-2025 - 09:21:18

An astonishing amount of steel is going on to the roof of Noss-on-Dart's new apartment building.

This is just a small section of what looks like might become a huge butterfly wing.

23-10-2025 - 07:08:20

All together now - yes, it's...........ships that pass in the night.

On the left is 168m RCC Prestige, going from Grimsby to Setubal in Portugal, it's 12.6km away from me. And coming in from the right is Maersk Columbua, 299.47m long and travelling from Norfolk, Virginia to Antwerp in Belgium. It's 10.6 km away.

So the ships are actually two kilometres apart. Probably safe enough.

19-10-2025 - 19:08:54

A wierd one. I saw this aircraft flying fast in front of Kingswear one night. No sound, so soon realised it had to be a drone.

Now normally there would be no chance of taking a pic, but as it reached

Waterhead Creek a car was coming down from Hillhead and backlit the craft.

19-10-2025 - 19:08:56

You have no idea how happy that made me to capture a drone at night.

Small pleasures eh ?

08-10-2025 - 19:10:07

Trawler fishermen have a dangerous enough job as it is, without having to practice for a figurehead role.

24-10-2025 - 13:41:40

A bit of a sorry and embarassing sight in Above Town. Thankfully now taken down.

25-10-2025 - 08:57:36

Another sad sight in Above Town. Even more sadly it is still there and likely to remain so.

But then my broadband is connected to it, so there would be no TVFTDO without this eyesore.

15-10-2025 - 11:43:05

For the record: most of the pontoons at RDYC and Dart Harbour's went in the middle of October. Back next Spring.

28-10-2025 - 10:30:24

Tall ship Pelican of London had its liferafts removed / replaced / inspected.

23-10-2025 - 15:14:48

Incidentally, if anyone was wondering just how the digger got onto lighthouse boach to remove the big rock (see up above), here's your answer.

29-10-2025 - 14:13:48

This week saw a visit from four rather tough looking Commando Raiding Craft. Each containing four rather tough looking Commandos.

31 August 2012 - 17:30:28

And here, from the magic that is my archive is the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at Dartmouth Regatta in 2012.

Hurricane LF363, Spitfire AB910 and Lancaster PA474 City of Lincoln.

25-11-2025 - 17:36:51

It's that time of year again - announced by an early evening whistle from across the water. The Train of Lights of back and on Tuesday ran its first steam loco practise run (following a diesel sortie the night before). Looking great as usual.

25-11-2025 - 17:37:44

My new camera performs way better in the dark than its predecessor hence, a decent close up of Braveheart towing the Train of Lights into Kingswear.

18-11-2025 - 10:24:16

We've had a couple of unannounced flypasts by one of the RAF's A-400M's. Known more coloquially as an Atlas.

The pilot was clearly enjoying this low run. A bank left to go around Kingswear and then a sharp right to clear Gallants Bower.

You'll need to click the pic and head inside to the November album to see a sequence of this craft arriving and departing.

18-11-2025 - 10:24:19

Okay, okay, you can have one more snaperoo here. But no more. Click the pic and head inside to see the full run.

13-11-2025 - 09:26:41

Slightly more beautiful and certainly more graceful, this kestrel hovered level with us eyeing up a potential appetiser.

19-12-2025 - 11:02:32

And indeed here he is - as seen from the great distance of the Dartmouth Office. King Charles took the salute at today's passing out parade at BRNC, Dartmouth. He arrived by train and then by road from Totnes into Dartmouth.

Apparently it is untrue that he began his address with the question...."has one seen the size of that Premier Inn ?"

19-12-2025 - 10:24:02

Typical Dartmouh weather for December.

Here you see part of the crowd basking in unseasonal sun.

19-12-2025 - 10:43:52

And then - twenty minutes later basking in a seasonal downpour. Mercifully short.

19-12-2025 - 11:03:08

A packed parade ground - there were 191 cadets 'passing out' - looked up to the King on the dais as he addressed the crowd.

19-12-2025 - 10:17:18

Earlier as the King arrived at the Captain's House (on the extreme right) the cadets and their families were assembling.

19-12-2025 - 11:06:28

19-12-2025 - 11:06:28

A flypast of three Dassault Falcons came up river.

19-12-2025 - 11:06:32

For the plane spotters among you they were: G-FRAH, G-FRAI and G-FRAK.

I expect that The King wanted to know. He'll certainly have known they are French. Mon Dieu.

19-12-2025 - 12:54:40

Meanwhile, whilst the King was watching his flypast, maintenance work continued down on the river.

And under it. Divers worked on the fixings for the mainstream buoys.

19-12-2025 - 11:09:35

You need hands.

11-12-2025 - 10:58:34

As the Inverdart constructiuon continued something disappeared from the 'harbour wall' this month.

22 October 2016 - 11:29:20

This pic is from years ago, but it's the railings that have gone walkabout.

Is the wall going to finally get its stone facing ?

11-12-2025 - 15:41:56

This is what I call a flypast. Royal Navy Merlin helicopter ZH840 flew downriver from the college.

11-12-2025 - 15:41:57

It was particularly low,

13-12-2025 - 09:05:22

Mist and sun. The best combination for a weather pic.

13-12-2025 - 09:04:23

And sometimes Kingswear takes a leave of absence.

20-12-2025 - 08:30:23

It's the shortest day of the year.

And it certainly started well.

30-11-2025 - 11:04:29

RNLI training session. Apparently trying out a new triangulation technique.

Which required a fair bit of pointing.

01-12-2025 - 18:18:05

Lots of blue flashing lights over on Castle Road in Kingswear.

Nothing showed up the next day on the Fire Rescue's mission map, so presumably a false alarm ?

17-12-2025 - 08:50:14

Concrete pumping into the rocks below Kingswears ferry pontoon.

Unusual, so it got snapped.

12-12-2025 - 11:28:59

They always look so lonesome on their own. Bargeless in Dartmouth.

Doesn't quite have the ring of Sleepless in Seattle.

EARLIER UPDATES

30-12-2025 - 07:44:42

When superyacht Mosaique entered the river, there was just about enough light to record the event.

Officially it is 46 metres long. But it sold at the beginning of September, and the press release suggested it might be 49.9 metres in length.

There's inflation for you. Speaking of which, the last price listing was for just under £8.9million.

And before you ask, I have no idea who now owns the craft. Or even who did before. They tend to keep those things quiet.

30-12-2025 - 07:50:33

Passing Kingswear you can see that regardless of whether it is 46m or 49.9m long this is a decent size tub.

30-12-2025 - 07:53:17

Thankfully the boat's own lights were left on or else these snaps would all have been a bit grey.

30-12-2025 - 07:52:42

Dart Harbour patrols led Mosaique to its centre stream mooring.

They were sited at the far end - possibly to be away from tomorrow night's fireworks barge ?

30-12-2025 - 07:22:35

At twenty past seven, it were mighty dark out to sea. But, ever watchful, TVFTDO caught Mosaique passing the mouth of the river Dart.

21-12-2025 - 07:10:18

No great over the top Christmas lights on show this year.

The Old Rectory in Kingswear does however have a nicely understated string of pearls along its veranda.

21-12-2025 - 07:06:40

But Noss on Dart won the first prize simply by having its tower crane lit up during an early moring mist.

22-12-2025 - 07:29:31

Inverdart reconstruction is nearing completion. Clearly the electrics have had their second fix.

28-12-2025 - 15:21:20

You can make up you own story, but this trio spent hours on the water fishing on Sunday..........

29-12-2025 - 14:27:47

..........and then returned again the next day.

Of course, it's possible that they simply like fishing.

29-12-2025 - 09:34:31

We always expect a cold snap when we can see the West Rock cardinal mark.

It takes a strong easterly wind to blow it into our view from behind the headland.

THE KING'S VISIT TO DARTMOUTH

30-12-2025 - 19:58:58

Superyacht Mosaique arrived on Tuesday and appeared to have a small party aboard during the evening. Certainly it was all lit up.

It tried to compete with the Train of Lights. But that was no contest really.

31-12-2025 - 07:04:22

And the boat was still all lit up in the morning.

If you look carefully it does look like there are some underwater lights (bear with me on this) but that they are overpowered by the lighting aboard.

Read on below regarding those underwater lamps.

31-12-2025 - 07:07:30

At the same time at the other end of the harbour, about 100 metres off Inverdart was this small fishing boat complete with its own underwater lighting. Is that considered cheating in the angling world? Apparently not. Described on one fishing site as 'an effective strategy'.

The light attracts the plankton. Which attracts the smaller bait fish. Which in turn attracts - the even bigger fish.

31-12-2025 - 09:15:52

And once the sun came up, New Year's Eve turned out to be a beautiful, if chilly way to end the year.

01-01-2026 - 00:00:25

More pix of the fireworks to be seen inside the January 2026 album, just click the pic.

Dartmouth's New Year revellers gathered to watch as the hour approached.

The short, but excellent firework display elicited a huge cheer from the crowd.

Those aboard superyacht Mosaique, hidden in the background underneath the display received an extra special close up view.

31-12-2025 - 23:56:29

A sizeable crowd along the Embankment as the New Year approached.

Okay, maybe not up to Regatta strengths but none too shabby for a pretty cold December night.

01-01-2026 - 09:08:19

The New Year didn't start too well for everybody.

Soon after nine am Dartmouth based tug Spot On towed in Brixham fishing vessel Sea Fever.

01-01-2026 - 07:47:41

But it was a decent dawn. May there be many more like this in 2026.

01-01-2026 - 00:06:59

What little wind there was, blew smoke from the fireworks towards The Dartmouth Office.

Leading the crowd to disappear in two ways. Visually. And by legging it.

04-01-2026 - 07:43:36

Wrapped up warm, it was freezing cold, the guests, or owners, or charterers (delete as appropiate)

of Mosaique were up on deck as the superyacht departed Dartmouth.

04-01-2026 - 07:44:26

Still dusk light, the 46m craft slid down the river Dart heading for Southampton - from whence it had come last Tuesday.

04-01-2026 - 07:47:59

The guests, or owners, or charterers (delete as appropiate) stuck it out until the ship entered open waters.

04-01-2026 - 07:21:44

Dart Harbour crew were out early to help with the ship's departure.

03-01-2026 - 16:33:01

The full moon rises behind Waterhead Creek.

The sheep couldn't care less.

03-01-2026 - 08:24:18

Our third day running of decent sunrises. See below for earlier editions.

02-01-2026 - 08:30:31

This is 90m Peak Bordeaux passing the end of the river Dart. And whilst it may well have a few bottles of claret aboard, its main job is the transportation for large and unusual cargo. In this case, wind turbine blades. Heading from Gibraltar to Emden in Germany which is, I now learn, one of Europe's main distribution ports for such things. It's unlikely that Windy Miller has ever visited.

19-01-2026 - 22:12:30

I cannot pretend to understand this, but for the past couple of months I have had an app called Aurora on my phone to alert me when the aurora borealis might be visible from here. It's fired up a few times sending me rushing outside to see.....nothing. Last night, once again, an alert came through and once again, I could see nothing. And then, photos started appearing on various pages with the advice to look at it through one's phone. It was like Hey Presto, all of a sudden there was a green sky. So out came the big camera and this is the result. For the technical minded: it was shot on a Nikon Z9 with a zoom set at 24mm, an ISO rating of 2500, and a twenty second exposure at f9.

Please note there was very little adjustment in the computer and definitely NO increase in saturation.

So, are these the northern lights visible from Dartmouth on the south coast? You tell me.

However, I do need to make something clear here - whilst I did indeed manage to photograph the Northern Lights I really can't say that I saw them. There was a faint hint of green in the north eastern sky, but it was only when viewed through the camera (either my iPhone or the Nikon), using a long exposure that the vivid green and red began to show. Having said that, there are plenty of photos online from people in the area, who could see more north than I, and some of them clearly show streaks and lines. ie, a proper Northern Lights display.

19-01-2026 - 22:10:33

Slightly wider view. And just a hint of streaks in the reds.

Still didn't see them with my own eyes.

21-01-2026 - 09:54:16

Day two of serious stormy weather.

Although it may well look like a garage, it is not a garage behind the wave.

So please resisit all urges to mention the "flooded the engine" joke.

19-01-2026 - 14:13:02

The French Navy Leopard class ship FS Lion has been patrolling out in the bay for a few days. On Monday they popped in.

Good to see navigation was done by eye not computer.

19-01-2026 - 14:11:56

Nothing a bit of filler and a splash of paint won't fix.

FS Lion displaying her true colours.

07-01-2026 - 13:35:39

A bit of a Mexican standoff atop one of the houses in front of us.

My money's on the magpie.

19-01-2026 - 11:30:55

Meanwhile, this little happy chappy continues to his his heart out.

04-01-2026 - 15:44:27

It's been a great couple of weeks for unusual weather pix.

This looked like it might be a snow cloud, but checking with cousin Roger in Brixham confirmed otherwise. Drizzle.

So a drizzle cloud that looks good.

19-01-2026 - 09:40:12

Low mist. High cloud and a hint of sun shining through.

With the added advantage of Kingswear disappearing.

Only joking, some of my best friends are Kingsweirdos. (I'm still only joking)

12-01-2026 - 21:19:17

The Patrick Blackett has been into Dartmouth a copuple of times before. It's the Navy's hi-tech test bed vessel, trying out drone ships and such like.

13-01-2026 - 12:24:41

And the Patrick Blackett still has its hi-tech recycling system - three wheelie bins strapped to the deck.

23-01-2026 - 12:01:22

Storm Ingrid in the latter part of January did tremndous damage at Torcross. The river Dart is one of the most sheltered harbours along the south coast, but even here, the waves produced some incredible power. This is RDYC suffering a lashing.

More storm pix from Dartmouth further down the page.

14-02-2026 - 10:54:01

Steam loco Goliath performed the season opener, bringing the first crowd of 2026's season to Kingswear from Paignton.

The real surprise is that the sun came out. And the rain didn't.

14-02-2026 - 10:51:35

Here's Goliath a few minutes earlier emerging from the woods at Noss giving its passengers their first view of Dartmouth.

12-02-2026 - 11:47:35

And talking of trains in Kingswear. This might well look like a steel frame with casters to you, but to a train spotter of a funicular bent, it's the bogey man. The boathouse at Inverdart is getting an inclined railway which at the risk of stating the plainly obvious is a bit of a rarity at a private residence.

06-02-2026 - 12:46:32

Clearly this wasn't someone's best day. But just about anyone who has used a power boat will tell you, it happens.

Two platefuls of spaghetti wrapped around your prop is no fun.

22-01-2026 - 09:45:12

Turns out Thursday is bin day on the river Dart. At least it was this week.

06-02-2026 - 12:45:01

Most of Dartmouth and Kingswear escaped serious damage from the various major storms inflected.

But two large trees in Above Town were torn apart and became so precarious that the council's tree officer recommended removal.

06-02-2026 - 13:44:58

Which was not the easiest of jobs.

24-01-2026 - 09:00:09

And talking of storms, there are lots of pix inside both the January and February albums of how the river was affected.

Kingswear Castle has stood for centuries, it wasn't about to crumble now.

24-01-2026 - 09:00:09

All three ferries were sidelined at various times. You can quite see why,

21-01-2026 - 11:22:28

Inecvitably the storms had an attraction for some.

21-01-2026 - 11:22:53

Second thoughts maybe ?

14-02-2026 - 07:04:09

First time I have noticed this illuminated sign for Darthaven.

Although, of course, it might have been there for years.

03-02-2026 - 14:22:42

Perhaps February is not the month to learn how to roll a canoe.

Click the pic to get inside the February album to see the next stage.

05-02-2026 - 06:45:19

The beginning of February is when the sun rises over the horizon within the two degrees of view that we have out to sea.

Five days of early rises and cloud covered views and finally the little devil had passed the gap.

The only consolation? It'll be back later in the year.

22-01-2026 - 14:15:49

How many Navy personel can you fit in a rib ?

The answer is twenty three. This is, it should be noted, a stretch limo rib.

27-01-2026 - 09:52:31

A new Pilot boat built by Southhaven Marine in Ireland overnighted in Dartmouth.

On its way to be transported to the customer in.....Newport, Rhode Island.

PREVIOUSLY ON TVFTDO

25-02-2026 - 12:34:35

A very intriguing vessel got a run out on Wednesday.  It was watched over by a drone and its very own camera boat.

So it's likely a V.I.B. A very important boat.  It's definitely a USV - an uncrewed surface vessel.

Looks fearsome, but that's down to the menacing colour and the forward facing barrel.

Thanks to a couple of TVFTDO spotters who identified it I can tell you it is a Vanta 6 uncrewed vessel designed mainly for protecting attacks on undersea cables. Made by Stark, a German company who now also manufactuie in the UK.

25-02-2026 - 12:31:23

There was no sign of anyone controlling it by redio control, which doesn't mean that there wasn't someone guiding things way out of sight.

Although it seemed to choose its own route out of the harbour.

25-02-2026 - 12:34:37

The crew of the aptly named Commander appeared to be in charge.

Once you know the name, there is quite a lot of info about it available including video on the manufacturewrs site.

25-02-2026 - 12:35:16

All part of a four boat flotilla. That boat in third place is a Brixham based catamaran called Tricky Poser.

Not surprisingl with that name a number of the crew had serious camera gear in use.

17-02-2026 - 10:03:30

Commander is itself an interesting craft. Previously the Hampshire Police Diving Unit's Command vessel.

Exceptionally over specified equipment wise. The asking price at the end of last year was £395,000.

23-02-2026 - 13:25:12

It took sea trials of an experimental drone to knock this sight down the page.

But this is the delivery of the carriage / cabin for the new funicular raiilway over the river.

One of the very few, possibly the only private residence funicular in the country. And it's here, in Kingswear.

Many more pix inside the February album.

16-02-2026 - 10:16:50

The crew of Roiyal Navy Merlin ZJ126 flew around a few times and seemed to be very interested in Kingswear.

Were they scouting out the new railwqay ?

No, they were looking for a landing spot.......

16-02-2026 - 10:18:17

he helicopter touched down somewheer near to Kingswear Park Club at the top of the hill.

14-02-2026 - 06:48:45

We haven't been seeing enough of this so far this year.

And when we do, it seems to disappear all too soon.

25-02-2026 - 07:15:40

This particular morning the big yellow thing stuck around for no more than an hour.

Roll on Spring.

24-02-2026 - 13:43:46

If you were wondering where the seals have gone, wonder no more.

Deep water pontoon, up by the Higher Ferry on the Kingswear side, had five this week.

A long, long, way away.

23-02-2026 - 11:47:51

Likely good news for those seals is that the Kingswear trots are already being relaid.

So soon the seal colony will be getting their dedicated pontoon.

Which, luckily for me and my camera is a darn sight closer than the deep water pontoon.

18-02-2026 - 06:07:02

Presumably the Lower Ferry's refueling pontoon goes off for a maintenance check at regular intervals.

But this i the first time I've snapped it on its way.

20-02-2026 - 06:46:13

Off season or not, construction continuies all around.

And it you've a digger needing moving. Call in the ferry.

25-02-2026 - 12:36:00

Passengers on the sightseeing trip got a good gander at the strange boat.

25-03-2026 - 09:44:16

Bright and early one morning a French Navy ship Jaguar popped in. Within an hour two ships more had arrived, all of them on navigational training.

In and out they went time and time again with a different officer each time training on the azimuth circle to set a safe course for entrance into Dart harbour. All three were visible in one pic, but you'll have to head inside the March album to see that plus a whole load more.

25-03-2026 - 15:01:11

And here is one of the trainee officers using the azimuth circle - it's like a compass with a sight.

There's no relying on GPS for the French.

25-03-2026 - 15:01:08

Meanwhile....whilst one officer at a time was using the compass, others found alternative duties.

C'est un traction. Also known as un pull up.

31-03-2026 - 11:26:00

More Navy exercises, this one Royal Navy. It's play acting of course.

Not sure if being shot by the 'enemy' is a coveted role.

18-03-2026 - 09:54:54

Tall ship Pelican of London was in for a few days and was fully dressed for much of that time.

"Dressed" means the flags were up. Quite a mission to get them in place.

That's almost the top of the mast one crew member had to climb to sort out the pennants.

Could it have been their pennance for earlier misdemeanours ?

06-03-2026 - 14:34:52

This seems to be an annual event now. Dartmouth Steam Railway allow a crowd of steam buffs to come and see their locos in action.

Lydham Manor was steamed up and came past the level crossing nearly a half a dozen times to ensure everyone got a snap. Including me.

There's a heronry over in Hoodown Woods. Usually the residents fade into the trees, this one really stood out.

After Storm Dave we have two days of bright weather.

This morning was just the start of it.

It's not going to last long however.

Quite big enough to be considered a true superyacht, and definitely a large luxury boat.

Mosaique returned to Dartmouth this week having last been here for New Year.

06-04-2026 - 12:17:21

That's a whole bevy of aerials Mosaique has installed.

What could they all be for ? And why can't they spell Mosaic?

06-04-2026 - 10:50:23

It was probably quite a lumpy ride for Masaique coming in from Fowey.

Earlier this trimaran had a roller coaster ride out of the harbour.

My first 'seal on a pontoon' pic of the year.

Acted like a proper moody teenager.

26-03-2026 - 10:30:48

And here are the RDYC pontoons arriving back from their winter break.

Dart Harbour's Embankment jetties came out the same week.

Talking of Dart Harbour. That splash in the foreground is Dart Harbour's pilot boat Mallard navigating some choppy stuff as it leads tug Commander into harbour. Commander is towing huge transport barge Terra Marique for a return visit to Dartmouth (last here in November 2024).

24-03-2026 - 08:44:55

The barge Terra Marique is capable of self propulsion.

Here you see it reversing onto its mainstream buoy with tug Commander keeping a watchful eye.

The two huge scaffold tents in Above Town are coming down.

Not a job for the faint hearted.

Don't worry if you think you'll miss them, there's a third one just been erected down by Warfleet.

It is said that the collective noun for jet skis is 'an annoyance'.

Can't think why that might be so. This crowd came in calm enough, but you just know they'll not all be able to contain themselves.

And it's doubtful they wanted to see the steam engine.

28-02-2026 - 13:27:13

What did I say?

07-04-2026 - 18:37:43

It's been a while since we've had regular visits from a Chinook, and here's the second in a week.

A visit to BRNC then a low, very low run, barrelling down the river and finally off along the south coast to the east.

07-04-2026 - 18:37:51

Low enough for you ?

If you click the pic and head inside to the April album you'll almost see the whites of the crews eyes.

07-04-2026 - 21:01:08

Superyacht departs Dartmouth soon after nine pm tonight.

Unusual for a private boat to have a night getaway, but the pilot was booked and out they went.

More pix of the departure inside.

More pix of the boat earlier down below (and inside)

Mosaique was led out past Kingswear by Dart Harbour's pilot boat Mallard.

Although at this stage, I presume the pilot is actually aboard the luxury ship.

Plenty more photos of the departure inside the April album, just click the pic.
