Queen Mary 2 - Greenock Visit

 
The world's largest cruise liner - QM2  - arrived in Greenock this morning.

We could all have done with some better weather, but hey ho, it's Greenock in September.

I was very kindly hosted aboard on of our local Svitzer tugs - 'Svitzer Milford' - so my sincere thanks to them for their kind offer.

I was extended a very kind invitation to meet and greet the 'Queen Mary 2' arrival aboard the Svitzer tug - 'Svitzer Milford'

I could hardly resist and had a great time with the management and crew, who were very helpful and friendly throughout.
