The "Big Stick" leaves Portsmouth at 1000hrs BST (0900Zulu). At the moment on the webcam there is a tugboat (Willpower) stationed on her stern to prevent her from swinging on the tide. The orange ship (Donizetti) is taking off her liquid waste. The Pilot boat (SD Solent Racer) is now alongside ready to transfer the Portsmouth Pilot.
