The normal method of launching the RIBs is to use the ‘Noddy’ or Nodwell Crane off the wharf and then using the rope ladder to get down to the boat. The only problem we have is when we have a southerly or easterly which creates bad swell conditions at the wharf. Now and again we will also have a large iceberg in the way but with the current which swirls around Ryder Bay we can normally wait for a while and it has moved clear.
