| THV Patricia, Independence of the Seas, Aurora, Oriana (II) & Arcadia (IV) | |||||||||
| There was supposed to be just four ships in on the 2nd June 2010 - Aurora, Oriana, Arcadia and Indy. However, typically not on the cruise schedule because of her main role being a buoy ship, we had been joined by the Trinity House cutie, Patricia the evening before. I was on Arcadia returning from Le Havre. We had hit fog off there and it was very misty in the Solent and right up Southampton Water. Indy was 5.15am, Aurora 6.30am in Mayflower, so had a good view of Patricia. Oriana was 7am after changing to 5.30am and would be annoyingly starboard in QEII while we were 7.15 in Ocean. I was up on deck for our arrival and it was hard making out Oriana in the distance. Because the MCP had been off most of the cruise, I had no idea about her latest time change and thought she was Aurora! | |||||||||
