FlyingJ 0 #4 September 21, 2004 JUST WAIT until you see this ship. I went out into NY Harbor in my kayak as it was pulling in a few months ago and it was quite possibly the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. There I was with my head no more than 3 feet off the water looking damn near straight up just to see it even though I was (per the USCG) 150 yards away. An amazing experience security wise too. Even after filing a float plan and radio contact with the Coast Guard, and while maintaining the security boundries, we received several visits from small boats with very large guns on them. Let's just say we didn't have any problem when they asked us to back up a bit more than the laid out secure areas. Remind me never to mess with them!!! j.Killing threads since 2004.

ypelchat 0 #6 September 22, 2004 So, I managed to take a few pictures of this wonderful cruiseship. She's really majestic, to say the least. If you look carefully (picture 003), you'll see a guy standing on top of the deck, close to where the anchor is. This gives you a good idea of the sheer size of this ship. Yves.

FlyingJ 0 #8 September 22, 2004 This was my favorite picture from when the QM2 was in NYC. Not sure of the origin of the photo, but it was taken as the QM2 was passing 42nd Street.Killing threads since 2004. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
