On the River (Clyde)

Well the good weather has deserted us today, but glad of some respite as it was really too hot for my taste.

Caught a little activity on the river as I was heading home after some shopping.

Bothwell Castle - Battle Re-Enactment

Another fine day and out to Bothwell Castle to enjoy some re-enactment from 'Carrick 800' and 'Fire and Sword' societies.

A very friendly welcome and as usual the good folks were both  helpful and informative throughout the day.

And of course there was fun to be had during the battles and archery.

A great afternoon out.

Stavros S Niarchos - Departing Greenock

What another wonderful day weather-wise - unbelievable temperatures.

Saw the 'Stavros S Niarchos' off from Greenock and good to see everyone enjoying themselves.

She headed out in calm waters and no wind bound for Lamlash Bay at Arran.

She is on a seven day trip with her destination Swansea.
