Fife yacht
A Fife yacht heading for the finishing line 26 June 2008. Another fine shot by ClydeNavalGazing correspondent Neil Robertson.
SD Salmoor

Coaster Anke Angela loading round timber at Campbeltown's New Quay 25 June 2008. More details can be found here.
Classic yacht
Classic yacht Mariette (?) returns early to her temporary base off Fairlie 24 June 2008. I am not sure if she returned to carry on the Wednesday leg of the race from Rothesay to Largs via the Kyles
Almost a calamity
An interesting event at Ardrossan, 24 June 2008, when Caledonian Macbrayne's Caledonian Isles had to sound horn TWICE after a fishing vessel ignored calls and lights (allegedly) and decided she was for the inner basin!
Petuja
Container vessel Petuja heading for GOT 24 June 2008. Does she not require a pilot (Yeoman Bank was already waiting for a pilot and Petuja continued up the firth without stopping!)?
