Leaving the River Clyde with Tow for Sea

 

The 'mature' Offshore Vessel 'Eide Fighter' makes her way through the Tail o' the Bank off Gourock on the Firth of Clyde with the Deck Pontoon Barge 'DN120' in tow. The village of Kilcreggan and it's famous pier can be seen as a superb backdrop with the 'Arrochar Alps' in behind.
