Last night, for a change to the normal day visits, the Quest for Adventure came up from St Malo on her Wine Regions of Europe cruise. Passing the Lower Heads buoy just as the day was fading, the lights of Flamenville in Normandy showed behind Sark.
She anchored close to St Peter Port and with Castle Cornet illuminated provided a unusual sight for late night partygoers in town. She had departed from St Malo at tea time and, according to the ship's blog, the guests enjoyed some virtuoso playing by their piano showman as they sailed north. (Thanks to Captain Kees Spekman for that insight.)
Early Sunday morning Queen Mary 2 arrived from Southampton. With the pilot on board, the Guernsey pilot boat, Golden Spur, marks the spot for the liner to anchor providing a short ride on the tenders to St Peter Port
As the Cunard liner was on a full day visit passengers on board the fast ferries of Condor had the opportunity to appreciate the size of her at close quarters. Having just completed her 200th Transatlantic crossing the Queen Mary 2 and Cunard continue to provide a unique cruise experience.
