Black Watch (III), Arcadia (IV) & AIDAcara
An early start on the 6th September 2009.  AIDAcara was due for 8.30am, although the arrival times had been 6.30am and 6.45am!  I'd already seen this pretty little ship in Copenhagen back in July but it's always nice when they're on your doorstep.  We got down there just after 7am and it was cloudy, cool but pleasant.  Black Watch was docked in City while Arcadia, down for 6.30am, was still having her ropes secured.
At 7.20am we spotted something around Fawley but it was difficult to tell what it was, partially obscured by tankers.  Thankfully it was moving so we guessed it was the AIDA.  There were a couple of people about too, but apart from one definitely looking down river for the ship, they were just there to relax.
