Ventura

A day of contrasts for the Ventura's visit today. The morning was glorious sunshine and hot; this afternoon, cloud and rain. No sign of rain this morning as the tenders came alongside, as both Sark and Herm ferries were employed to bring the guests ashore. Condor Liberation is on the ramp, as well as the French ferry Victor Hugo on the cross berth.

The Ventura was on a two night cruise from Southampton for her short visit to Guernsey today. Amongst the guests on board are a wedding party. The bride boarded at Southampton in her wedding dress, and certainly had plenty of guests to enjoy the celebrations. But if you want to stand out in a crowd, wear something bright - like the lady in the pink top.

Early evening as the Ventura left the anchorage bound for Southampton. She will be back on Monday on her way south for a week long Iberian Cruise and currently all cabins are sold out apart from inside ones. Not too sure the weather will be as kind for that visit.
