Hello Gwyn,

it wont be the bow thruster. It is extremely rare for a vessel to need to use a bow thruster in open waters unless she is going alongside another vessel or point. The other reason it is unlikely to be the bow thruster is because most thrusters become impractical and make no difference at speeds of more than 5 knots.

Regards Robbie

Hi Gwyn, super shot of this vessel, dont think it is the bow thruster as the vessel is not turning and the spalshes are some distance away so it could be whales!

thanks for sharing
