Another day of Cornish Mizzle and there in the gloom was this navy vessel - if you look at the top of the mast, you can see the ghostly shape of Scillonian III heading out from Penzance. It was so quiet this morning that I could hear a fog horn - and I assume that SCIII was sounding hers as she crossed to Scilly
A little later she passed in front of us and I took this which shows P283 - HMS Mersey a River Class Offshore Patrol vessel.
Must have been SCIII you heard Sue as Tater Dhu lighthouse fog horn was turned off for good in May 2012.
ReplyDeleteWikipedia fails again ! didn't say that the fog horn had been turned off. - Heard the fog horn again this evening just before 6pm.
