Today Queen Mary 2 was still at anchor off the Lower Heads Buoy ready for a mid afternoon departure for Zeebrugge, the port for Bruges. Last night during her stay, the coast of France was visible in the twilight of a Sunday's summer night.
This morning bought a sunrise that it is worth getting up early for, not sure if anybody on the Queen Mary 2 saw it though. Within a hour it rained but cleared for the judging of St Peter's Parish entry for the Britain in Bloom contest. Tomorrow the judges will be in Wales.
With the Queen Mary 2 anchored off Jerbourg it was a chance to see her with the Caribbean Princess which is on one of her 12 day round the British Isles cruises. Next port of call is Cobh and then into the Irish Sea, around the north coast of Scotland to Edinburgh, then Le Havre and back to Southampton.
For the early risers the approach to the anchorage gave a chance to view Herm and Jethou at close quarters, before anchoring for their half day visit.
