Shame about the sun,

Then, knowing our luck

the board will shut down for maintenance:eek:

On their way to Le Havre, for Paris.

Wonder if many will take the trip into see it?

 

Before that they will have to thread their way through all the traffic in the English Channel..

Well didn't that work out rather well for Princess, David.

I was amazed at the number of ships in the channels. I'll have to see what the Google earth legend reads. Gosh you find some interesting snippets.

Thanks.

When we did our Med. cruise at any one time we saw at least 4 ships around us as we cruised. The shipping traffic is amazing there. It was fun to do a bit of ship spotting.

 

I was talking to an Officer on our South Pacific last year and it was his first contract down in this part of the world. He couldn't believe the lack of shipping traffic down here. He said you have to have your wits about you at all times in the Med. as there are 'ships coming at you from all directions'. Imagine what it would be like if there was fog...:eek:

Heres the latest map....

Dawn Princess in quite a line up of ships,all in a row...

 

 

while on the other side of the Channel,

Crown Princess has now left Southampton,

so they may pass each other.

Wonder if they will close enough to see each other?

[Gaznjo]

oh dave I thought for sure I would wake up this morning to some webcam pictures of the english channel and all it's traffic....

 

I looked too early last night then forgot to go back... did see the bridge came at southhampton from the crown ( looked great )

 

have you all checked the blogs .. the photo's are great.... what I love is each of them take different type of pictures so you get a real feel for the places...

 

I loved the one on grandma and grandpas adventures of the locals waving from the dock as they left ..... I wanna go to cobh...... I wanna go everywhere they have been !!!!

They have arrived nice and early.

They will need to if they are going to travel down to Paris for the day.

Possibly...I did not catch it.

Have to read the blogs.

[Sandielle]

It was still dark when they were almost docked - the port was still lit up. When I switched back not long after, it was light.

[Gaznjo]

Gosh on their way to southhampton ... don't know if i would want to be crossing the english channel in the path of other boats in the dark....

 

I wonder how they do it... do they stop everyone moving forward so that the boats can move accross LOL... they really do need traffic lights...

Seems to be threading her way through all the traffic.

[Gaznjo]

you can see some lights infront of her on the bridge cam... maybe other boats or the lights of south hampton

[Kiwi_cruiser]

[Kiwi Kruzer]

She is approaching the wharves now.

Just watched her sail past the end of the Hythe Pier, from a live cam, but all you could see was a strip of lights.
