Should be interesting for anyone who will be near any of the upper Clyde shipping lanes.
Cameras ready for the 8000ton carrier section which is being transported on a barge.

Acting to the TV news, she's on her way.

Follow the barge by tracking the AIS of one of the tugs, 'Eraclea'

Might be south of Wee Cumbrae in a couple of hours, but the vis is a bit poor. Maybe I'll see some lights later. Pretty breezy out there at the moment. Someone has tidied my telescope away for some reason.
