Ventura

P&Os Ventura spent Sunday at St Peter Port on her way north from a cruise to the west coast of Portugal and Spain. She made the most of the August weather arriving before breakfast and departing at tea time. The sea front was closed to traffic so guests good make the most of a "Sea Front Sunday"

Guests taking any Bus or Coach tour which goes as far as L'Eree on the west coast may have noticed the geese and ducks that inhabit the fields and nature reserve. What they don't see is that as dusk falls the geese on one side of the road head to the reserve on the other side, some fly, some walk, but they seem to know when there is no traffic!

Before the geese crossed the road the Ventura left the anchorage and headed out on her way to Southampton around the southern tip of Sark. This is the first time I've seen the Ventura in the new colours. I don't remember seeing the eye-catching red line at sea level before on the other P&O Liners, maybe she is a bit high in the water.
