Today, Monday 6th May has been a Bank Holiday in the United Kingdom and two liners visited Guernsey, with the Black Watch spending the day here yesterday. The Black Watch arrived on a wonderful calm morning and soon had tenders in the water for a full day in Guernsey. She left at teatime bound for Boulogne.
Bank Holiday Monday seemed to be the hottest day of the year so far in Guernsey and the island was host to the Hamburg arriving for a full day visit having sailed yesterday from Southern Brittany, Arriving lunch time the MSC Magnifica finally made it having cancelled the previous visit due to strong winds. Nothing like that today with temperatures reaching low 20's, the best early May Bank holiday for a long time.
Despite being on a half day visit, a fashion that seems to be increasing, the MSC Magnifica had tenders in the water before the pilot had disembarked ready to get over 3,000 guests ashore. She arrived from Harwich on her way back to the Mediterranean.
St Peter Port Harbour looked fairly full late afternoon with both liners, tenders, Sark Ferries and the Commodore Clipper on her normal route of Portsmouth, Guernsey, Jersey, preparing to depart.
