It's gala time for folk on the Clyde. The tall ships are in for nearly a week and so everyone is paying a visit to Greenock to see them moored in the James Watt dock or outside along the outer dockside. Many are sail training ships including one specially made for handicapped people (The Lord Nelson).
This yacht in the foreground is Ted Heath's boat which at the time he owned her was called Morning Cloud. The present owner calls her Opposition. Maggie and I got chatting to the owner and another gentleman who works on boats in which he builds and repairs bits and pieces for the owners. We were shown a fine set of wooden steps on Opposition which he had designed and built to hang over the side so you can get on to the pontoon.
