Britannia

The sun was barely up behind Sark when the Britannia arrived from La Coruna. Coming around the south east corner with the Pine Forest as a foreground the seas look empty apart from the liner.

If the Britannia had come a day earlier the guests could have enjoyed the Air Display.  This included the Red Arrows "Missing Man" tribute to the Island's much loved Lieutenant Governor who died suddenly last weekend.

No blue skies met the Britannia as she dropped the anchor on her day's visit. She is on a Iberian cruise and has sailed as far as the north coast of Spain before turning north to Guernsey and her home port of Southampton. For the winter season she will sail from Southampton at the end of October to Bridgetown, Barbados. Before that though she will return to Guernsey on Sunday on a two day cruise from Southampton.
