APA pilot Capt. Rick Hanlon boarded the bulk carrier Aurora Venus from the Strait Rider normally a lines boat of all trades used by Superport Marine Services in this area due to the fact that both pilot vessels the Strait Falcon and Strait Eagle are on the disabled list..Also filling doing double duty is the new tug Strait Raven..The Aurora Venus came in during the early morning hours of May 19th and was anchored in Inhabitants bay for a CFIA Gypsy moth inspection before proceeding on to Sept Isle Quebec.
About the same time as the Aurora Venus was heading out into Chedabucto Bay the pilot boat was putting Capt Elias Dorey on the incoming bulk carrier CSL Acadian which would eventually go alongside the cape size bulker Hermina for a coal topoff operation
.Also waiting out in Anchorage Foxtrot is the bulker Caroline Oldendorff awaiting berth space at the quarry dock in Aulds Cove once the CSL Argosy is finished and departs for Jacksonville Fla.
The coast guard vessel Edward Cornwallis departed mulgrave about 1600h this afternoon and i managed to get some nice photos of it highlighted by the late afternoon sun as it passed by the industries in Point Tupper.
