What's going on guys? Welcome back to the channel, welcome back to the vlog. If you're
new to the channel a big warm welcome my
name is Tristan Mortlock this is
captain's vlog. Earlier today we docked
here in Portofino I got some epic shots
on the drone, on a couple of GoPros, and
on the Canon camera and I'm gonna show
you guys how we dock a super yacht in
Portofino so I really do hope you enjoy
this video.
Furthermore, we on AWOL have been voted
or nominated, sorry, as best charter yacht for 2019. So, if you enjoy this video,

months since I started the channel, I
really hope it gives you an incentive to

subscription this click on the link and
these click a vote and that is it. So
please vote for motor yacht AWOL and I
really appreciate it and I hope you
enjoy this video. Barbara: So we about to come inside the port. The beautiful port of Portafino. So, already we have all
the fenders out at the right heights and we're
gonna have to adjust depending on the
boats we will have port side and starboard. I prepared a
remote that's my remote for the starboard windlass
So here we're not gonna take very much. We're gonna
drop anchor so I'm getting ready for
that. Normally I always set an anchor on
emergency mode so that if we have a
failure I can just drop an anchor so that
we don't go into the other boats around
I going to use it to actually use it as a ground line so that we don't go too much on
the dock. So, what I have to do is to drop
it little by little so that the chain
stays quite tight.
So that it's it stays all the way like a
ground line and it will prevent the
boat to go too close to the dock. So that's what we're going to do now.

Portofino marina Portofino marina this
is motoryacht AWOL, AWOL on channel 12 -
yes, go ahead AWOL. Here Portofino marina.
Yes, good evening Portofino Marina, this is motoryacht AWOL. We are just outside the
marina requesting permission to enter to
the berth
Copy, thank you Barbara
Tristan, going to fly the drone.
OK, copy
So, now I have visibility on the chain if
I need to I can see how much we
still have in the chain locker. I can see
what's happening. I'm staying on starboard
because captain is on port side. Then I
can have visibility where he doesn't and
also Jason is on the stern to have the
visibility for him as well so the few of
us together we can see all around the boat.
okay Barbara, see the guy on the tender you
got to drop anchor where he is
So that guy here is showing us where we
need to drop anchor.
Got about 15-20 metres to stern
Also, monitor the anchor chains of Wedge
Too, yeah? You also monitor the anchor chains of
Wedge Too, Jason
Yeah, copy.
Yeah, copy, you've got 20 metres
More forward? Yeah. That's our starboard quarter in line with their anchors
A little more the bow on port side. A little more bow, port side
Okay, drop!  Okay! So, I'm
dropping now. So now I want to chain
to go, but not too much so it will stay straight, but I don't want to block it
because I want Tristan to have total
movement on the boat with the propellers.
::chain rattles down::
Lineup is good. Do you want to come back on that?
Lads, you're on camera for this one. Slav's going first! Slav first.
okay
Lambeth nailing it again
Hey! That's 300,000 views right there boss.
Hahaha!
Babs we wrapped it off there!
So what I did is, I closed the windlass here so that
now I'm gonna do it's more accurate with
the remote. I'm waiting for Jason to
tell us what's the distance to the dock
and then when he's happy I can take
tension on the chain.
So guys I really hope you did enjoy
that video. As you can see it's quite a
tight space to get into but it was a lot of
fun. A beautiful day in Portofino, it's the
