Boudicca
A rare event happened on the 18th January 2010 - Boudicca was docked the right way round!  Thud!!!!  Fred Olsen ships are docked starboard so you constantly get bum shots.  This was the second time Bouddy had been port.  The previous time had been the 6th.  She had left Portsmouth, where she'd done several cruises, at midnight and headed up to her usual berth in City Terminal.  Due to something else unusual - heavy snow - I'd been unable to take photos of that monumental occasion.  Now the weather was much improved so there was another chance.  Bouddy is something of a pioneer.  She was the first to reverse from QEII into the Itchen and turn for sailaway and now the first Fred Olsen to give us a bow shot from Mayflower Park.
