Ruby Princess

The Ruby Princess arrived before 7.00am this morning on a perfect day for tender operations. The sea is calm, the temperature is rising, what could be better for a half day on the Island. An early morning yachtsmen heads north with no wind so he motors past the liner. On August 3rd she will be back in Southampton having sailed west all around the British Isles, including Glasgow where some guests may see the Commonwealth Games.


From the liner Guernsey does not have much shape, but as the tenders get closer the town of St Peter Port rises more clearly above the harbour. In the foreground of the photo is Salarie Corner with its old harbour and small fishing boats.  There is now a nice place to sit on the restored gun battery.
