The Aurora lived up to her name as the Roman "Goddess of Dawn" when she arrived in Guernsey to a beautiful sunrise, having sailed overnight from Southampton. She spent the day on the more easterly anchorage before leaving for Zeebrugge. Her guests made the most of the weather and took in a local Food Festival held in St Peter Port over the weekend.
She was closely followed by the Crystal Serenity having sailed from Portland in Dorset. Not many guests were on deck except for the early morning joggers making the most of the quiet deck space as she arrived at the closer anchorage to St Peter Port.
This Sunday in Guernsey was a pleasant day with everyone making the most of the last summer weekend before the schools go back. There was no rest for the crew of the Valiant heading north for Poole who spent a short time in Guernsey having arrived from Jersey on a regular cargo run. The island forming a backdrop is Jethou. This privately owned island has a rare public opening later in the month.
Guests of the Crystal Serenity could be forgiven thinking that they had changed ship as they boarded their tenders overshadowed by the Commodore Goodwill. Unusually it spent Sunday in Guernsey, rather than her normal Jersey to Portsmouth sailing. The Crystal Serenity left for Dover late afternoon but will return on Tuesday on a cruise heading to Southern Europe.
