Bit of a surprise . . . . !

A phone call from a neighbour, just as I was about to serve up dinner this evening, telling us to look out the front window!  What a wonderful sight!  She is the Thalassa, a three masted Barquentine, 45m long, built in 1980 and on her way to Invergordon.  

Lovely to think of her sitting in the bay overnight. Hope she'll still be there in the morning . . . and that she leaves the bay under sail!

The extra shot I took of her from inside the garden, over the hedge!  

ps Another extra one just before I turned in for the night . . .
