Sunday in Guernsey and just under 7,000 guests should have arrived on the Island from the MSC Magnifica and the Costa Pacifica. The fine sunny weather of last week has given way to high winds and rain, which with a heavy swell made the running of tenders from the liners to shore impossible and both liners cancelled their visit. The MSC liner left Le Havre last night and after aborting her visit sailed for Zeebruge.
The Costa Pacifica, with the Guernsey Pilot on board, came up to the anchorage off St Peter Port but eventually cancelled her visit. At least her guests had a closer look at Guernsey. The MSC Magnifica, in the background, is off the north coast of the Island of Sark. She is on a 9 day cruise from the Netherlands, visiting Hamburg, Edinburgh and Dover before heading to this side of the English Channel.
As the Costa Pacifica sailed along the east coast of Guernsey she is ignored by some of the world famous Guernsey cows contentedly grazing. The liner is in the middle of a 12 day cruise from Savona in Italy to Kiel in Germnay.
