» Jewel & Aurora depart
Ships Attending:
{Jewel of the Seas}
{Aurora}
Date: {15/05/04}
It was almost perfect, the whole day had been sunny and the weather
people almost got it right... Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas was
departing Southampton as was P&O's Aurora - both at 5pm. I headed
out to Calshot where I'd hoped to get the best shots and bang on
schedule through the minocular I could see Jewel moving from her berth
at the QE2 Terminal closely followed behind by Aurora's distinctive
yellow funnel.
Time ticked by and more and more photographers
seemed to come out of the woodwork, but I think like me many were
quietly annoyed that the sun had gone in by this time! Jewel passed
Calshot at about 5.40pm and Aurora seemed to be quite a way back
following 10-15mins later and getting a photo of both ships together was
quite hard (needed a zoom - out!). After Aurora has passed I dashed
across the sands to the other side of the spit where I'd hoped to get a
photo of the two crossing one another as they passed Cowes. Enjoy the
pics!
