I actually walked to the Kessock Burn. Have not done that for some time.
Still good surf.
Almost high tide.
This is the Grampian Conquest, safety standby vessel.
The Harbour Pilot boat heading out to her. To land the pilot.
The big boat turns so the pilot can climb up the ladder to get on board on the sheltered side.
Once the pilot is on board he guides it into the harbour. The pilot is required when the ship is big and this one is huge. The DP took this photo with his super duper lens.
He also took these photos of the Surfers.
The look on this lad's face says it all. How he is enjoying himself!
This chap is the expert.
And here is me - now in winter plumage. The sun was shining but it was aye cold!
Finally. My Christmas Robin continues.

Both the surfer and you are enjoying yourselves. Why not?
You look very well equipped for cold weather!
Things seem to be looking up for you, Jill. Keep visiting the prom and getting all that good fresh North Sea air!
Love the phrase, "Winter plumage". You look really snug, and what a lovely photograph of you.
I really enjoy reading your blog - it's a breath of fresh air. Such a lot goes on at sea that some landlubbers like me don't usually get to see. Great pictures - the close ups of the surfer are wonderful, and it was really interesting about the pilot. Glad to see that you're cosily togged up for the weather up there!
...and I meant to say, Jill, what a gorgeous little robin. You are talented.
I love your "winter plumage" (what a perfect term!!) and I was delighted to hear that you were able to make it across to the burn, which sounds very positive.
Love your sea photos (as always) and thanks to the DP for that long range lens!
Your wee Robin is looking bonny.
You are looking well Jill. x
Love the Winter plumage, the sea air is making you look well hopefully that is true.
