The cruise ships are over and we are now on to the grey boats.
This weekend sees the start of Operation Joint Warrior, a twice yearly exercise off the west coast of Scotland.
This autumn's exercise seems to be a lot smaller scale than previous ones.
Today we had 2 arrivals to Faslane naval base with 1 vessel departing.
HMS Northumberland headed for King George V dock in Glasgow instead, so we had a quick dash to Braehead to catch her as she was escorted upriver by tugs Battler & Bruiser.
