Above scene on a quiet tuesday afternoon shows the pelagic trawler Charisma undergoing maintenance work before the start of the herring fishery. Beyond her is the NorthLink ferry Hrossey.

Not such a nice day for Silversea's Silver Cloud during her visit last week, persistant heavy drizzle made for a murky morning.... however an hour before she sailed the sky lightened and some sun shone on her passengers.

An interesting caller to Lerwick is the Cayman Islands registered Wind Horse seen berthed at the cruise liner pontoon that was installed in Lerwick in 2006. Looking more like a naval vessel this sleek yacht attracted lots of attension to harbour watchers in the town.
