SKYWATCH FRIDAY - TRAVELS WITH MY NIECE: Arrived Southampton, England, Monday 29 August...




Land, at last, sighted at dawn, following 7 days of scenic surf and sea, not another ship, whale or dolphin
to be seen.  The weather was remarkably good considering the alarming news of IRENE which reached  the east coast of NY the day we left.  The internet connection was interrupted many times and we could only watch and fear the worst of the impact for those caught in its path on Tv.
-

Tugs busily enabling QM2 to reverse into harbor.  



Our last naughty early morning breakfast on board!  Pate, hash browns, streaky bacon
tomato and toast.  Resisted adding all sorts of other equally mouth-watering variations of a typically English breakfast offered buffet style.

It was so good to be away from an incredibly noisy NYC existence for a week!  And two days later I am still struck how quiet it is everywhere!

SKY WATCH FRIDAY - LEAVING BROOKLYN PIER 2, PASSING UNDER THE VERRAZANO BRIDGE WITH 9 INCHES TO SPARE, IT IS SAID...


Hi every one - It was a close encounter that I cannot show at this time because it takes so long to upload photos.  We are on our way in the QM2 sailing for Southampton, UK,  niece Bernice and I, so far enjoying sunny weather, a calm sea and a noiseless, sedate world in itself, except for the periodic ship announcements and ding dongs.  There is much to do, lots to eat and endless walking and lounging in the sun.  We're on deck 5, in the middle of the ship a cabin with a protected deck.  The motion is very slight but looking out while eating at the same time can be disturbing...it is an awesome experience of swell and glittering sparkling sea.  More tomorrow for online time is short and posting has to be done with all speed! CHEERS!
