Queen Mary 2 I'm easily distracted by the activity going on around me the whole time.

Saturday evening saw the departure of a whole series of cruise ships. Amongst them the Queen Mary 2, who did a neat 180 just behind me.

What is interesting, is the modern cruise ships no longer seem to need a bevy of tugs around them as they manoeuvre in port.

That will be on account of the Azimuth Thrusters they all wear nowadays.

I forgot to mention, if you look carefully you can see two people standing outside of the hull, on the starboard side near the bow.
