Cruise Ships

Had a pleasant late afternoon/early evening on the boat. Motored down Southampton Water to Calshot and were going to head over to the Isle of Wight, but it was a little choppy for Anna, so we came back. Actually it wasn't very choppy, really, but I didn't want to push my luck with Anna, since she sometimes a bit hesitant about boating. Managed to sit at about 25knots on the way back without Anna noticing - so that was good!

Anyway, Southampton really has become Cruise ship city. There were three of the huge, modern cruise ships left port while we were out, so got a good look at all three of them. The shot above is of Oriana, which was probably the smallest of the three.
