Black Prince (II), Ventura & Queen Mary 2
The day Black Prince was originally due to sail to Venezuela was upon us, only she was going nowhere on the 23rd October 2009.  She was, in effect, in limbo sat in the QEII Terminal.  Ventura was in Ocean with Mary annoyingly the wrong way round in Mayflower.  She had been due to dock port but someone changed it to starboard.  I had breakfast in John Lewis with my friend Andy and snapped the view.
Black Prince was looking more forlorn sat there with seemingly no work going on when we went down for the sailing.  My side was still hurting so we didn't go to the usual spot.  Instead we sat near the end.  Ventura and Mary were both for 4.30pm.
Hard to see in the photo below but the Fred Olsen house flag was STILL flying, meaning either something had gone wrong with the new owners or the handover would be just before she left.  Meanwhile the Hythe ferry had got caught in the wash of the NYK container ship which was heading out and having a bumpy time!
