A very good and interesting picture. Sad to se her going for BU. For me it was interesting to be onboard and look at her, when she did visit Oslo, Norway some years ago.

Cheers guys, the weather was a lot better then predicted and she certainly got a good send off. Good coverage not only on local news but also made the national news on ITN.

Nice one Allan. But what a kerfuffle dragging it to Spithead then having to do a 180 before Eraclea took up the tow!

Great shot Allan.
I managed to get down myself, well worth getting up at an ungodly hour for :-)
