Adonia

The Adonia arrived early from La Rochelle and enjoyed a day of record temperatures in Guernsey, the hottest so far this year.  She left for the overnight passage to Southampton before the rain started to fall and missed the threatened thunder and lightning.

Castle Cornet in the foreground, one of the premier tourist attractions, gave visitors a good view of the Adonia, the smallest ship in P&Os fleet. Since being built in 2001 she has had a few name changes including Minerva 2, R8 and Royal Princess. One of her sister ships, Azamara Journey,  is sailing for Azamara Club Cruises, frequent visitors to Guernsey.

Somebody had a unusual background to their wedding photos this afternoon. Castle Cornet is a favorite venue for wedding celebrations; a wonderful setting on a warm summer's night.
