Joint Warrior Exercise - Vessels Return

We had some more vessels return to the Clyde today after their Joint Warrior exercise.

I caught two of the Danish vessels as they travelled upriver to Glasgow.

More Arrivals for Joint Warrior

Four more arrivals this morning for the Joint Warrior naval exercise.

It was very cold, very wet, and really quite miserable as we waited for these to pass us at Custom House Quay in Greenock.

They were later than expected, but headed to Glasgow for berthing until their departures on Sunday.

Meeting up with old friends from around the country did bring cheer despite to awful weather.
