Waverley on the South Coast Part 4
Report by Jenny Longhurst
The El Camino Espanol (A05), a Spanish naval auxiliary, was about to sail as we left Portsmouth
HMS Quorn (M41) entered the Harbour as we left - note the dipped ensign and the Spinnaker Tower, now open
Approaching Lulworth Cove
Lulworth village inside the Cove
With the absence of Swanage calls and being lucky enough to sail close to the coast as firing on the Artillery Range had just stopped, we were able to go further west than in previous years - note Portland Bill in the background as we turned
The sun was catching the Jurassic coast in a spectacular manner
The steamer sailed all day with her ensign at half mast in memory of Commander Tom Foden, a stalwart supporter who was for many years Waverley's agent on the Bristol Channel
