A busy day at St Peter Port with the MSC Opera on one of its regular visits and the superyacht Ronin on a refueling visit. She spent over 6 hours fueling from a fleet of road tankers, before departing later in the day for Horta in the Azores.
The MSC Opera did not sail by this week, as she did last week, and arrived shortly after midday to spend a misty half day visit at St Peter Port on her way from Ijmuiden to Vigo in Spain. Only three more visits before her season finishes in Guernsey and she heads to the southern oceans for a cruise to Cape Town in October.
This family seemed oblivous to the liner as they head for an afternoon's fishing on the Castle Breakwater.
Later afternoon at St Peter Port Harbour presented a familiar summer scene with the tenders operating to the MSC Opera, the Commodore Clipper on No 2 berth having arrived from Portsmouth on her daily visit, the Victor Hugo on the cross berth awaiting passengers for Dielette, and the Valiant of Channel Seaways operating its LOLO service. Only the Huelin Dispatch is missing from this scene, after many years of a afternoon schedule to Southampton, as Huelin Renouf have recently gone into liquidation.
