Serenissima

First impressions count for a lot, so I don't think it went well for Guernsey as guests on board the Serenissima arrived at the anchorage early this morning to an Island covered in mist and drizzle. It's a Bank Holiday on Guernsey, and this is traditional weather for such a holiday.

There was a good crowd for the horse racing at L'Ancresse but not too many horses for the race in this photo.

THV Galatea is still at anchor and kept the Serenissima company for most of the day as the weather improved briefly. The 100-passenger liner is on an Island Life cruise of the Channel Islands and Isles of Scilly. The guests on board should enjoy Herm this afternoon, before leaving early tomorrow morning for Alderney and Sark. Let's hope they see some sunshine.
