Not too early a start this morning as the scheduled cruise ship 'Discovery' was not an early bird.
She arrived in warm sunshine looking splendid against the backdrop of the Cowal hills.
She was soon safely berthed at the Greenock Ocean Terminal.
I popped back later in the afternoon to capture her departure along with some other shots of passing ships.
