Oceana (II), Independence of the Seas & Queen Mary 2
Something unexpected happened in Southampton on the 6th June 2009 - they docked the humungous Queen Mary 2 in the new Ocean Terminal!  Due to her size, many, including me, didn't think she'd go in without having a rather large navigational hazard sticking out.  I had to go to town to meet my friend Richard who was visiting the area so decided to take the camera along for pics of how she was tucked in or not as the case may be.  Unfortunately it was back to being Great Expectations but it was generally fine, unlike the weather.  Cold, murky with the threat of rain.  Indy and Oceana were also in.  The Gruesome Twosome still had just inder two months to ruin views and there was a car carrier in 43 opposite Mary.  So how much space was there in Ocean Dock?  I was about to find out!
Just as we were getting closer, along came the banana to ruin the shot again.  At least it hadn't been a repeat of Monday when she'd stalked Boudicca to Weston shelf.  We let it slip by as we neared the pretty one
