Ships Ahoy! Friday 4th May 2012

There were 2 small cruise ships anchored in St Mary's Roads today: the Quest & the Ocean Nova.
Also in the near view, is the replica sailing ship the Matthew of Bristol, giving the islands the pirate look.

The Scillonian made 2 sailings today ferrying 900 or so passengers over for the world gig championship weekend. The planes and helicopters were constantly bringing in rowers and spectators alike all day too. I think there might've been less aircraft at Heathrow than here today?! ;)

The weather was glorious ...up until I decided to step foot out on a walk, when the clouds came; much to my dismay! Oh well, it was still warm & my walk around the Garrison was a pleasant one. The Trinity House ship was in working on the Spanish Ledge bouy when I got round that side, but I didn't get a decent enough picture to bother with that I'm afraid.
