A very early start to get the cruise ship 'Ruby Princess' on her first visit to the Clyde.
A misty start to the morning so the light was a bit challenging.
Finally she berthed right on time at the Greenock Ocean Terminal.

The over to Faslane in time to catch a Trafalgar class submarine of the Royal Navy as she headed out on patrol.
A nice cheery wave from the crew was a welcome sight as the headed through the Rhu narrows.

Next I caught the 'Gold Rover' as she passed Rhu on her to the oil depot at Faslane.
By now the sun was out, and this presented a few more challenges as bright and contrasty and perhaps not in the best place for her arrival.
Carried on up the Gareloch to get a few shots as she berthed.
