Greenock in the Sun

The sun shone in Greenock today and temperatures were high for this time of year.

Roll on summer.

Gave me the opportunity to get a few images around the town.

After a not too successful round of golf, batteries were recharged so popped back to Greenock for some pics.

PS Waverley and Balmoral

The PS Waverley and the Balmoral left the Garvel Dry Dock having completed their external maintenance work.

They left later than expected in a biting cold wind and with the light fading.

PS Waverley went to Custom House Quay and Balmoral to the James Watt Dock.

Inverclyde Travels

Another nice sunny day today - again it could be warmer.

Quick shot of our cat - and wish he would stand still for two seconds.

Then later up to the cemetery at Greenock.

Down to the Esplanade for an ice cream, and rounded off the day at Murdieston Dam.

Erskine Bridge

Went up to Erskine this afternoon to catch a few pics of the tanker 'Nordic Copenhagen' as she went upriver to Glasgow.

The sun shone nicely - if a bit cold.

St Andrews

Went for a day trip to St Andrews with two of my sons - Kevin and Fraser.

Nice weather on arrival but clouded over as the day went on.

Rewarded with  a few nice images.

Aarti Prem - Departing

Aarti Prem - the large cargo ship berthed at Inchgreen fitting out quay for repair work left this afternoon.

She is en route to Bremerhaven,  I assume to resume her normal work.
