Seems that the Dutch pilot tender 'Perseus' (SWATH type vessel; SWATH stands for Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) was in troubles off the Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands, coast because the vessel was heeling and got assistance from the Dutch pilot tender 'Orion')

I couldn't figure out what was wrong, because they used 'scrambled voice' communication, but my estimate is that one of her hull pump systems malfunctioned.

At least the vessel is not in danger. Unusual situation photographed at the right time. Clear details overall as usual Cornelius.

Well captured and timed shot Mr. C. - takes a sailor I think to recognize they were in trouble.

Amazing and interesting action shot - sure hope she gets back to port without any big problems. Outstanding action and detail - I almost feel the rocking on the boats
