northernsailor Posted October 13, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hi, As the title says, just back from Southampton. We were booked on a Red Funnel ferry to go and watch QE sailaway for the first time - taken a load of videos and photos which I will upload all tomorrow but here is a taster below :) Was amazing to see her sailaway, there must have been over 50 vessels following and surrounding her as she made her way down the River Test. Truly a fantastic atmosphere (especially for those aboard no doubt too!) Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernsailor Posted October 13, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hi, Been uploading them throughout the day, photos nearly finished. Here is I filmed (which Cunard even posted on Facebook too!) It's just over 6 mins long and shows her from the bow, sounding her whistle and passing by with music playing aboard for the sailaway.. :D Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernsailor Posted October 14, 2010 Author #14 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Final bit of geekery to add to this post. I GPS logged the Red Eagle ferry we were on. The following link shows you the route the ferry took to watch her. I will be datalogging the next cruise I am hopefully (QM2 Nov 8th) although not much of a route to Cherbourg and back ;) Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
