The MSC Opera was back today on her way south to Spain and Portugal. She arrived from Ijmuiden via the Big Russel before turning at the Lower Heads buoy to follow the pilot boat to the anchorage position.
Due to the strong winds and rising during the day the liner moved anchorage position a few times to provide for safe transfer of the guests to the tenders.When she first arrived the initial position was not suitable and she moved astern to a more southerly position.
The shore party was on on there way ashore promptly but had a wait before the guests arrived. Not doubt during the day they suffered with the weather as thunderstorms and torrential rain passed over Guernsey. The ferry in the background is the Herm Trident passing the Island of Jethou which is currently leased by Sir Peter Ogden. There was once a cafe on the island which was raided by the police in the 1950s for serving drinks out of hours.
