Bowling Harbour


Always fancied a walk around this old neglected harbour, and today was the day.

The light was fantastic, and good warmth in the sun.

It didn't last too long, but this is what relaxing days are made of in my opinion.

Around the James Watt Dock


 A few images from within the James Watt Dock.

The Svitzer tugs were trying out a new berth so they may be moving to a new home.

Lots of different construction work as the dock is prepared for the upcoming Tall Ships Race later this year.

Here we see some of the construction work - including piling in the dock for the pontoons.
