No, you've just taken it too far

Sounds like you had an incredible time, Pete. Such a sad day though. I can't believe they're decomissioning such a piece of British history. Still, I suppose 41 years of service including a war isn't too bad. It's just a shame that they've sold her off to go to India rather than keeping her here. Nevertheless, that's a lovely photo
 You were very lucky with the weather.I've flown over a Norwegian glacier in a 6 seater Cessner Seaplane like this, so I have a good idea how you felt. It was a fantastic experience, but what put me off was throwing up into a sickbag every 20 seconds  I was only about 13 then, so hopefully I wouldn't be so bad now.

Cool
 That must have been stunning, from what you saw.

I said sail from though, not sees, so i'm right
Southampton is the last British port she sails from, Gibraltar the last that she'll see
