Spotted the sails on the horizon and took a look through the 'scope. Could see it was a beautiful boat so looked it up.

 It was the three masted schooner Atlantic.

 "The 2010 Sailing yacht Atlantic is magnificent replica of the 1903 William Gardner designed three-masted sailing schooner Atlantic, owned by Ed Kastelein. The 1903 sailing schooner was a long time World record holder for the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean under sail in 1905, having sailed 3006 miles in twelve days, four hours, one minute and nine seconds, thus winning the Kaiser’s Cup from New York to The Lizard. The record held firm for almost a century, when it was broken in 1998. It is the longest standing speed record in the Yachting History."

Sailing schooner Atlantic is the largest classic sailing schooner ever created, measuring 185 feet (56 metres) over deck and with the bowsprit to boom length of 227 feet (69 metres). Her graceful sheerline and long overhangs accentuate her grace while her waterline length of 42 meters and narrow beam are a promise for unmatched speed under sail.

Loved the lighting 

Tiny patch of rain floating around

Well at least we could see The Mount this afternoon 

Do hope he was being careful - two fishermen have been swept of a rock on the North Coast in what would have been livelier conditions 

Super lighting as we walked along 

Gannet quite close in 

The last we saw of the blue sky 

Not enough sun for the Belladonna Lilly
