Mykali as she passes Greenock

The bulk carrier Mykali left KGV docks in Glasgow around noon and headed on down past Greenock on her way to the open sea.

Svitzer tugs Ayton Cross, and Anglegarth assisted as she navigated the upper reaches of the Clyde.

Also managed a few images from the Easy India harbour as I awaited the Mykali's passage.

Glencoe

A great day out at Glencoe today.

Very cold biting wind started me off, then a bit of light - but annoying - rain.

Towards sunset it became much milder and the wind dropped making it feel very pleasant.

The A82 road was closed due to an accident meaning an extended route back home via Oban in the dark.

Inverclyde Today

Another cold day, but nice and bright.

A run down to Gourock and as the road gate was closed at Tower Hill (not sure why) it was a walk the last part of the way.

A few panoramas of the hills across the Clyde.

Then a run up to Greenock and to Custom House Quay where 'Pole Star' is berthed as she is doing some buoy work in the Clyde over the next few days.
