Thank you Thomas. I had no idea that Rio was so large. The wide angle view of the on-board camera gives a view that does not often include the front pod and when it does, it seems far away and small. I now better understand why at times, Captain Baptista seems to be overly cautious and slow in some manoeuvers.😊👍 Col, NZ
Thomas, I can't see your chat anymore on Rio2, could you please tell me what is going on today, are they helping another boat? Thank you, Lisa (Lovello)
Thanks for the great video , Thomas!! You don't know how sad we in the Czech Republic are for our once mighty ( for a landlocked nation) Elbe Cruise and even ocean cruise. We had dozens of naval ships years ago. After the revolution in 1989 it was all sold off, destroyed, and these guys who are still sailing in the Czech Republic deserve admiration, they are like the Last of the Mohicans... 4 years ago I had a conversation on this subject with our present Minister of Finance. His conclusion, despite all my arguments about the need to maintain our direct connection to the sea was: nobody needs water transport in our country, nobody goes anyway... They're a bunch of dumbasses.....
