    here's two of my best.. which is being kind. the rest are to foggy to be honest, when i get the hang of editing photos i may post more.

    thanks for posting all of your photos, they all look great
    hope you had a great day and didn't get to wet in all that rain. After the fog first cleared i ended going up to the cathedral tower in the hopes of some nice views, but the fog returned by the time i had climbed to the top lmfao. stood in a cloud

    oh well, never mind

    The Queen Vitoria does go through the Panama, she does it when she does the World Cruise. I have a photo somewhere that I got off the Panama Canal web cam.
    Queen Mary 2 is too big for the Canal. The new Queen Elizabeth coming out in October is 90,000 tons the same as Queen Vic will also go through the Panama Canal.
    The press kit says she can but it must be a strange fit as we touched (scraped!) the sides of the canal at its narrowest point.

    I took this in dry dock in So'ton. We broke mid Atlantic in winter and bobbed for two days and a few months later we had to go into dry dock The OOOPS is one of those stick on funnies we use to buy.

    I like the 'square shape' similarities too, Dazza, and who knows, perhaps the pub is setting off to a better location!!!! "Bon Voyage"! Baltic Fleet. Cheers.

    Ha, you're probably right there Norm. It has it's own brewery as well, so there's nothing keeping it from cutting and running. Bon Voyage indeed.

    Ode to the Baltic Fleet :

    Cunard chimneys on the roof,
    Been drinkin' 'shine 100% proof,
    Paint the town red from top to...,
    Baltic Fleet cellars and tunnels beneath,
    Buggered if I can find any more red paint?.

    The Skipper on that ship is The "Captain of the World".

    What a great Title to have. "I am the MASTER of the WORLD."

    I guess the owners of the floating condominium wanted to do a Beatles Tour...

    Having a shared "floating home" is an interesting idea.
