Hi Rick,

That is a really interesting video. I had never seen a beaching from that vantage point. I was sure at the beginning that it was going to strike the ship at anchor! It was nice and smooth.

Thanks for sharing,

Steve Geronazzo

Hi Steve, my thoughts exactly...if not the ship at anchor, then the quayside or the beached ferry....as sometimes occurs, especially at Alang; glad you enjoyed it.

very interesting beaching indeed , Aliaga is indeed a huge cutting yard. I did see a couple of Royal Navy Type 42's there?
