| Europa (VI) at Cowes | |||||||||
| Another trip over to Cowes on the 6th September 2010. Hapag-Lloyd's 28,890gt Europa was anchored there before returning to Kiel. This was the sixth ship to bear the name, debuting in 1999. I had only seen the previous one in 1987, which currently sails as Bleu de France for Pullmantur. The weather this day was meant to be better so I decided to take the slow boat across. The ship was at tender from 7am-1pm which was slightly cooperative than c.Columbus eleven days earlier so at least I didn't have to rush. I caught the 10.10am ferry over so I could get the 11am Red Funnel for photos this time around. It was very windy and cool as we bounced towards Town Quay, the ferry I was due to catch going ahead. That was fine. The paddlesteamer Waverley was back for her usual September excursions. This year she was docked in 49 so it was better for photos. |
