I had a bit of a tip off that The Sailing Vessel Lord Nelson would be coming into the harbour on this mornings high tide.

Myself and my good friend Mike Marshall were up early to see if we could get some photographs of the boats arrival.

Up at 5.30 I got to the cliff top for sunrise but the boat was out on the horizon and looked tiny. I arranged to meet Mike at the singing kettle for breakfast at 7.30pm and from there we headed to Tate Hill beach for some photographs.

At first the skies were grey with little light, but as the boat neared the harbour entrance the sun came out and the boat looked magnificent lit up and set against the darker skies behind.

Below are a few of my photos from this mornings shoot. I will add a couple of the best ones to the shop for people to purchase as canvas or prints should they wish to.

Once again, thanks for looking. I would love to hear your feedback in the comments section below or in my Facebook group here.
