Pilot boats ship boarding in rough weather

We were out on sea trials with the two newly launched Interceptor 48 pilot boats when the Port of Cork pilot boat Failte passed by to undertake a pilot transfer from an outbound ship. It was a nice opportunity to capture some cool video of the action as the boats ran alongside before the ship turned to create a lee for the pilot to disembark. Although the seas werent very big, it was blowing hard at the time with gusts of over 50kts recorded at Roches PT lighthouse as we passed.
