Yesterday was a summer's day, very hot, hardly any wind; this morning brought fog, and with the Ocean Princess having arrived from Milford Haven it was not the best welcome to the shores of Guernsey. The Ronez was at anchor awaiting the tide for St Sampson's harbour, Guernsey's tidal commercial port.
The Ocean Princess was on the westerly anchorage which gave a shorter tender ride for the guests on their 8 day cruise from Dover, visiting Milford Haven, Dublin and Edinburgh as well as Guernsey. Before the sun is up tomorrow they will have arrived back at Dover at the end of the cruise.
At anchor off Belgrave Bay on a low tide, this is not the tourist picture of Guernsey. For the population of the north of the Island this is the view they see on their commute every day of the year with low tides, high tides, beautiful sunrises, views of the other Islands - it does beat the M25 queues every day!! When somebody wanted to reclaim this bay, the local population marched in protest, most people like it as it is.
