This is sunrise this morning seen from the veranda of our house, with the sun now rising much further into the south so, very soon, we'll see it rise out of the sea; and, in the evening, we'll see it set across the flat land to the southwest of us, towards Littleferry. As it is, it's movement south is making both mornings and evenings draw in.
I saw her lights last night, off Loch Fleet, what looked like a bulk carrier at anchor. I didn't expect to see her this morning as there was no need for her to be sheltering against inclement weather, but her silhouette is visible in the this picture. The Marine Traffic website tells us that she's the Baltica Hav, a small general cargo ship built in 1984 and sailing under the flag of Antigua and Barbuda. She was out of Kirkcaldy and bound for Buckie - I suppose that her size means she can get in to relatively small ports - and was due there yesterday, so something has caused her to pause her voyage in the waters off Golspie.
