Rare TLCOhio Posted April 30, 2010 #14 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Colin Brown (CD) boards in the middle of June. Great news!

patnlcc Posted May 4, 2010 #15 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hi Terry - We had Colin on our San Juan/Barcelona cruise which just finished last Wed. Colin was fantastic. Very good at what he does. And a virtuoso on the piano. I hope you do get him on your cruise. (I'm biased as he is a fellow Scot!!) We also had a fantastic clarinettist called Pete Neighbour - sensational, and a wonderful singer called Rodney Williams. Enjoy! Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brimary Posted May 11, 2010 #16 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Sorry we miss you Duct tape.Does anyone know the journey time from leaving Tower Bridge to leaving the Thames for the North Sea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted May 11, 2010 #17 Share Posted May 11, 2010 If I remember correctly, it was hours. Sorry to miss you also! Have a good time in Africa in the winter, maybe next time. We will be doing Africa in the winter, 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfathomable Posted May 11, 2010 #18 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Tower Bridge to the open sea is "how long is a piece of string" -- the transition to open water is very gradual after the QE2 bridge (the last bridge over the Thames), but really there is not much to see after that point. There is lots to see up to that point, especially if you do it in daylight. It depends a bit on the pilots (separate ones for the estuary and the river), tides etc, but expect about four hours. When leaving Tower Bridge, the ship is dragged backwards by a tug for the first mile, because the river is too narrow to turn around until you get to the Pool of London -- so be on the back for sailing.
