Pilot cutter Mount Stuart, (assisting RFA Wave Knight) in Rothesay Bay, Isle of Bute.
This large 52ft 5in LOA (16.0m) pilot boat, on a beam of 4.6m, replaces an even larger 1970s built Nelson 60 for the Authority, which has held faith with the adage that in their part of the world, size matters.
Mount Stuart is a twin screw fast pilot boat in GRP and classed Lloyds Register Special Service Craft Rules. It meets MCA Code of Practice for the Safety of Small Workboats and Pilot Boats to 24M loadline, sea area category 3 to 20 miles from safe haven and is designed and built to Lloyds Register Special Service Craft Rules for SSC HSC Mono Pilot G2.
Power is provided by twin Scania DI 12-41M turbocharged and aftercooled marine diesels rated 301kW (409hp) at 1,800rpm, set to run up to 3,000 hours per year at intermittent power. Drive is via close coupled Twin Disc MG 5114A down angle gearboxes with a 1.5:1 reduction ratio driving through conventional shafts and four bladed NAB fixed pitch propellers. The craft displaces 23.5 tonnes with a fully loaded draught of 1.22m. Equipped for a crew of two and up to six pilots, maximum speed of 24 knots.
A fuel capacity of 1,750 litres provides a range of 250 nautical miles at top speed, including a 5% reserve. Diesel fuel is stored in two equal size, cross-connected 875 litre tanks located port and starboard in the tank space.
The wheelhouse features three double glazed forward windscreens, each fitted with a Hepworth wiper mounted below with dual speed controls and washer nozzles. Three further double glazed units on each side of the wheelhouse and another in the wheelhouse door insure good all-round visibility. Two Ardic three speed fan heaters connected via a 29 litre calorifier to the port engine cooling water system feed eight outlets at the base of the forward screens for demisting and heating the wheelhouse

Frederick Spicer, son of the Stuart Town Stock and Station Agent, died as a result of a horse-riding accident on Undoolya Station in 1889. He was buried under an Ironbark tree west a little outside the town of Stuart with views to the MacDonnell Ranges and Mt Gillen. He was the first to be buried here. Others were buried around him, and the spot became the Stuart Town Cemetery.
There are thought to be 71 people buried in the cemetery, but most of the graves are unmarked.
In 1933 after a lot of confusion, Stuart was renamed Alice Springs. The original Post Office was at the Alice Springs Overland Telegraph Station. A reserve was declared around the Telegraph Station and a town, Stuart (named after John McDouall Stuart who explored the route for the Overland Telegraph), was declared within the reserve. A problem arose when the Alice Springs Post Office moved from the Telegraph Station into Stuart town. A referendum was held and the town name changed to Alice Springs.
It was lovely to see the old cemetery mown and looked after, and the light was beautiful in the late afternoon on Sunday.
(I lived in the same street as the cemetery when I took up permanent residence in AS. The cemetery is a very important part of local heritage. Love it! Goes to show I should go racing goods trains into town more often, because I did just that for the second time Sunday afternoon, and it led me back to the little cemetery I hadn't visited for years.)
I believe the beautiful bright green fringe that rings Lake Stuart is :
