Sea Explorer I

The Sea Explorer arrived this morning from Portsmouth with the rising sun blinding anybody looking towards Sark to see her come up to the anchorage. One of the smaller liners visiting Guernsey this year, she is a recent fleet addition to AP Touring and Noble Caledonian  joining her sister ships, Island Sky and Caledonian Sky.

The St Peter Port pilot marks the position where the Sea Explorer will anchor on her half day visit to Guernsey before moving closer to Herm during the afternoon. Tomorrow she will leave for Sark, and then onto Alderney.

While the guests of the Sea Explorer were on Herm, they probably visited Shell Beach which yesterday morning was bathed in sunshine. A walk along the east coast of the island from Belvoir Bay brings this view of the beach, with no one in sight on this spring morning. The shells which make up the sand are carried to the beach by the Gulf Stream
