Today it was the turn of the luxury sailing ship Sea Cloud II to pay one of her regular visits to St Peter Port. Summer seems very slow in coming to the Island at the moment with grey days and after the liners go, sunny nights, or at least for the last few days. The Castle Walk is the way that many guests take en route to Castle Cornet, though at the moment the walk way is shut for some storm repairs, rather strange to leave it till the time of year when more people use it.
Sea Cloud II entered service in 2001. As a guest on board you no doubt learn the names of the 3 masts and 24 sails which the ship has. She was only here for a half day visit and left the anchorage at lunch time heading for Honfleur. Sailing up the west coast of Guernsey she should arrive early tomorrow morning.
