They left Portsmouth together last night and now they are at anchor together at St Peter Port. The Serenissima arrived first and as normal is anchored closer to the harbour entrance, with the Voyager further out. Even though the sun is shining not many yachts are out this morning as the Voyager prepares to put her guests ashore for their day in Guernsey. Tonight she will continue her cruise towards Madeira and the Azores
High tide at Rousse Tower on the North West corner of the Island, one of the 19th century fortifications restored by the States of Guernsey. Nearby is Rousse Kiosk a favorite place to eat, sit and enjoy the views. It is a short walk from a stop on the 91 and 92 bus route around the Island.
Even these two liners, small by today's standards, are world players. Voyager will spend early 2017 sailing in the South China Sea visiting Vietnam as well as Indonesia. The same dates will see Serenissima sailing through the Panama Canal after visiting Colombia. Amazing, two well traveled liners in our small Island.
