Monday, Holy Loch - James Watt Dock

Very heavy rain and no wind. We sat in the marina cafe, looking out of the window at the rain, whilst eating breakfast. John had the Scottish pancakes with ice cream & syrup. I went for the healthy option, egg, bacon, sausage patty, baked beans and toast.
We filled up with diesel before leaving the marina, and headed down Holy Loch in the murk, again dodging the ferries.
Once across the Clyde, the main shipping channel is surprisingly narrow as the central area is shallow with drying banks at low water. We passed a cruise ship, Ocean Princess, moored in Greenock, as we lined up to approach James Watt Dock.
Having moored up securely we went off to explore Greenock, only to be caught by yet another shower. What we did see didn't look to attractive. They do have an impressive crane which dominates the skyline over the dock area.
