At sundown, a Canadian cutter came from nowhere to pick up the Pilot on board our ship.
Speed was an understatement.
_RQ37302
The boat slowed to come along side the cruise ship.
_RQ37311
Lot of interesting equipment.
The pilot steps through a side hatch in the cruise ship on the deck of the pilot boat.
Turning on a dime, the pilot boat speeds off into the sunset.

Off through the wake of our ship. The whole process was over in a few minutes.
