Around the Clyde

Fortunately I had my camera as I walked Maya, and also fortunate that a RN submarine was departing.

Caught her at the Cloch.

Later in the day I went to Greenock for some shoots on the cruise ship leaving - sadly it was a bit damp and cold.

HMS Vigilant returns to Faslane Naval Base

HMS Vigilant returned to her home base at Faslane late this afternoon.

Very dull and then the rain came to make things a bit more difficult to get quality images.

Nevertheless here are a few of her arrival.

River Clyde Movements

I was out on my travels when I saw a nuclear submarine heading out to sea.

A bit of a push but just managed to get to Cloch lighthouse in time to catch her as she sped past.

Heading back home I saw Calmac's new ferry which is undergoing sea trial just now and managed to get a few images both in Gourock, and in Greenock.
