Day 2 of my ship spotting weekend

This morning it is very foggy again and I am waiting to see five ships.

Another great day of ship spotting - Regent Seven Seas Voyager came in first (4am) followed by Oceana, Arcadia, Ventura and Adonia, all one after the other. I seem to have spent the whole day on the water. At 12 noon we had a book signing at Waterstones at West Quay. Then we caught the Red Jet to Cowes. After a sandwich on the seafront we caught the Red Funnel car ferry back, just in time to sail past all of the P&O ships.  Voyager wasn't leaving until 7pm which was perfect. I left Andrew at Town Quay and caught the last Hythe Ferry back. After a brief diversion to check out three people in a small inflatable right in the middle of the main shipping channels, I raced back up Hythe Pier and got back to Caryll's just in time to see Voyager sail past.  A brilliant day spent mostly on the water - perfect!

Adonia had acquired a rather last dent - after an altercation with the Kiel Canal!
