[COLOR=var(--primary-text)][COLOR=var(--primary-text)]Doc Vernon Macdonald[COLOR=var(--primary-text)]Well at some time Today the 3rd April you will be entering the Port of Durban, another nice Port in my days at Sea. Then its on to PE, and then your Final Leg to Cape Town the Jewel of the Posts along the Coast of South Africa. The most beautiful approach one can imagine, and Oh so many times when at Sea did i watch that Mountain come closer and closer! A dream! Enjoy your Holiday there with Family and Friends! Then its winging your way back here to Aussie! Safe Journey! Cheers

Re: queen mary 2
A friend of mine is a Cork Harbour pilot. He flew to Liverpool to get familiar with her a few years ago. He sailed on her on passage to Cork/Cobh and piloted her into port.
