Caribbean Princes

Caribbean Princess was back today on a British Isles Cruise. Away from Southampton last night she spent most of the day anchored off St Peter Port. There should not have been too many problems with tenders as both a Sark ferry and a Herm ferry were used as well as the liners own.

With the sun shining on the Islands as Caribbean Princess left for Cobh the guests on board had a good view of the southern end of Jethou and the Island of Sark before they sailed along the South coast and into the Western Channel. One of the ports of call will be Kirkwall where Scapa Flow and St Magnus Cathedral can be visited. 100 years since the Battle of Jutland was recently remembered there.

Once clear of the pilotage zone the St Peter Port pilots prepare to disembark onto the Golden Spur. From their balconies and from the lower deck guests have a good view of this hazardous operation. No Captain would want to risk their ship in the treacherous waters and tides that surround Guernsey without a local pilot.
