Arcadia (IV) & Seven Seas Voyager
It was a miserable day on the 9th September 2008.  Cold, wet, windy.  Regent's Seven Seas Voyager was in City, along with Arcadia in Mayflower.  I hadn't seen Voyager since February 2006 in Fremantle, Western Australia, when she was still owned by Radisson, so despite the weather I had to see her again.  We headed over to Town Quay, passing the new terminal and checking its progress.
Arcadia was due to sail at 4.30pm with Voyager at 6pm.  During that time, at 5.30pm would be the paddle steamer Waverley, who was in 104.  Originally she had been meant to go in the morning.  We waited in the dry until it was time to go out for Arcadia.  When we were crossing the road she blasted three times.  It was absolutely chucking it down and the wind was coming from all directions.  We managed to get to a decent spot but it was hard fighting the wind with the umbrellas and taking to take photos and video as we tried to stay dry.
