HMS Montrose - Faslane Arrival

After completing my visit to Kilcreggan it was carry on round to Roseneath as I was expecting HMS Montrose to transit up to Faslane.

She duly obliged - but the visibility was abysmal with the mist and rain.

So with best efforts here are the images.

A Few from the River Clyde Today

Grabbed a few shots in the East India Harbour, and Victoria Harbour on my way home today.

After a late lunch I realised that the 'MV Hebrides' was inbound, so took a chance and headed back to Greenock.

She berthed at James Watt Dock in nice sunshine, albeit still a bitingly cold wind persists at the moment.

Winter in Spring

 The cold snap continues and the East wind is as bitter as ever.

Usual walks with Maya today and our friends - the ponies - came to meet and greet us and partake of a biscuit or two.

Popped to Greenock for shopping in the afternoon and got a few pics of the SD Impulse in dry dock.

She now sports the white superstructre adopted by Serco for their fleet.

Still prefer the buff myself.

Saturday Evening in Greenock

Decided to try my luck with the sun setting in Greenock tonight.

Feel it was worth the effort, and glad I took a chance.

SD Northern River sneaked down from Glasgow this morning - no AIS signal to alert me of her movement.

Nice sunny morning made for some pleasant images.
