experience difficulties in coming alongside. During such times, Masters will
be advised by the Pilot vessel which side to make a lee. During the early
part of the SW monsoon, when the wind is south of SW, the sea runs from
the south and Masters are advised to keep their ships heading east when
making a lee for the Pilot.
Pilots will board in approximate position Lat. 18_ 51' N, Long. 072_ 49.5' E,
from a white pilot launch with the legend ‘‘Pilot’’ on either side.
