Tenacious

The clouding over of the bright morning sky and the consequent greyness of sea and sky by the time we got out this morning was cheered up by the appearance of sails on the horizon - sails which turned out to belong to the sailing ship Tenacious, which glided upriver from Innellan, where we first saw her, to Dunoon, where I was able to hang out of the window with my proper camera and get a better shot of her.

We were moored next to the sailing ship Roald Amundsen in St Petersburg, and the Cutty Sark in London, but it was good to see this in our own home river. And I didn't fall out of the window either, though it was a close-run thing.

Now we're in from choir, drenched from the short walk along the road in the wind and rain from the remains of the tornado. Good to sing again, and to share travel stories ...
