The ABP Southampton Cruise Ship programme gives her arrival time at 1400 on 6 March.

Pray the weather is like today, glorious blue skies over the Solent, and I will be out there with my camera.

I am up and getting ready for the 50 mile drive to Southampton with my friend to see her arrive in Mayflower Park. Followed by a late lunch and some retail therapy in Wesy Quay. Looking forward to seeing her... Will post some pictures over the weekend.

We are going to the Holmwood on Cowes seafront for our regular pot of coffee with friends so hopefully will see her off East Cowes/ Cowes at 11.40 am.

Now off East Cowes. There's a small crowd building up here at the bottom of Ensign Way, Hamble. I'll walk down a little later, the breeze off the water is quite chilly.

And a few more:
I was surprised to see that she appears to be registered in Southampton according to what was splashed across her stern under her name.
If anybody wants to see her she's here all week :)
