James Watt Dock Today

A few images from around the James Watt Dock area today.

It was bitterly cold and with rain showers the weather was making life with the camera a bit testing.

Hope you enjoy.

Ferries - James Watt Dock

A welcome break gave us some blue skies for a very short time today, then the bad stuff came back in.

Managed to get a few shots in the James Watt Dock on my way home from shopping.

Loch Shira and Loch Portain looking resplendent after their winter maintenance were a good photo opportunity.

A Wee Trip to Millport

Such a lovely spring sunny day today that I opted for a trip to Millport.

Caught a reasonable shot of the 'Solitaire' as I passed through Largs.

Across on the CalMac ferry to Cumbrae, then the bus to Millport about four miles down the island.

It felt more like summer and fish and chips was firmly on the menu. The local shop is owned by a very hospitable Turk and the food was excellent.

Then on to a nice ice cream with raspberry sauce to round off the lunch.

A good blather with the owner of the cycle hire shot and he suggested the seals would be a worthwhile visit - so duly obliged.

Walked back to the Cumbrae slip for the ferry and back in Largs about 18:00.

A great day out and very rewarding on all fronts.

Loch Shira - Arriving in Greenock

The CalMac ferry 'Loch Shira' arrived at the James Watt Dock today and berthed in the damp and cold of the winter afternoon.

Expect she will transfer to the Garvel Dry Dock soon for her winter re-fit.
