Black Prince (II) & Black Watch (III) Say Goodbye
The forlorn looking Black Prince was joined in Southampton on the 18th October 2009 by her (still current - just) fleet mate, Black Watch.  Despite my aches we decided to go down since it was meant to be the only time they were together before Black Prince left for Venezuela.  However, with her date changed from the 23rd to 27th, who knows what would be going on when Black Watch returned?  It's very unusual to have two Fred Olsen ships in Southampton together anyway.  Boudicca and Black Watch were supposed to be twice during 2010 but they changed Boudicca's itineraries.  The marina was pretty much deserted, the few people milling about would leave although a small handful did watch.  Lady Madeleine was unusually in 39 instead of with Bentley.
Black Watch was due to leave at 4.30pm and she began moving shortly after that but took nearly twenty minutes to turn which was unusual indeed.  By now the weather had become colder.
