'Jubilee Hope' Outward Bound for Africa

The medical vessel 'Jubilee Hope' departed the Great Harbour in Greenock today bound for Lake Victoria in Africa.

She left at 12:20 with a wave from the crew to the small group of assembled well-wishers.

I wish her and her crew a safe passage.

Sunday Jaunt

Headed across to Helensburgh - weather was gorgeous today - to catch a few shots of the Brazilian patrol boat that was bound for Faslane. 

As can happen, she dropped anchor for the night instead of transiting direct to Faslane. So abandoning my original viewpoint a quick head around to Kilcreggan to get a shot as she lay at anchor.

Carried an round to Coulport and got a few of the Loch Long and the Clyde. Driving home the sunset got red and attractive, but I was unable to stop off to get any shots.
