Pacific Quay - Glasgow

After the Marathon I went West to Pacific Quay to savour the events there.

HMS Bangor was open to the public and the crew were excellent in their hospitality.

BBC Scotland had much in the way of entertainment and I had lunch in their cafeteria.

Then it was back in to town with the crowds thronging their way over the Squinty Bridge and heading for their various destinations.

Small Ships Race 2014

This event wasn't too clearly publicised with an itinerary that I could find, but went down today to see what I could of the participants.

The event facilitates young people from ages twelve to twenty-five to compete against other sailing vessels and their crews.

The fleet has vessels ranging in size from a thirty-five foot bermudan sloop to a ninety foot gaff rigged schooner.

After the racing is complete, some of the vessels will join the Commonwealth Flotilla.

 The flotilla is expected to comprise of two hundred and fifty vessels that will sail from Greenock to Glasgow on Saturday 26 July this year.

Model Yachts - Greenock Club

Went up to Murdieston Dams today as the weather is still nice.

I was surprised to see the model yachts were out racing so got a few images before heading down to the other dam for the wildlife.

Easter Stroll Through James Watt Dock

Not the warmest of days but we were forecast for heavy rain so the sunshine was a real bonus.

A stroll around the James Watt Dock in Greenock was rewarding with some nice images.
