How to Park A Ship

Parking the RSS Discovery requires a cool head and keeping a close eye on an array of buttons, lights and a chart on a screen. Ther is also a trap door to look down through.

Looks truly complicated. Glad that there are professionals doing this.

@roachling we spent an hour or so touring with her skipper (who I taught to drive a small inflatbale last year and she drives this ship!!)
@joansmor yup, good idea Joan
@harbie and I wasn't allowed to tough the big red button!!
@farmreporter it has a twin on the other side!
@joysabin she said it didnt take too long to learn either!
@rjb71 ther's no steering wheel!!
@jqf lift up the trap door and there's a glass floor about 1' x 3' it was a long drop to the sea!
@brennieb skipper says not crashed her yet!

Thanks all for your lovely words
