Someone earlier on this board was asking about QE2 videos earlier today.

 

Here's a link to a post I just submitted on the Cunard Board about a video I've just uploaded.

Once again Neil thanks for the link to this amazing recording of yours. I enjoyed it so much that I watched a second time. The canal is so different to what I thought it would be.. Is it wide enough for ships to pass in the opposite direction? Sorry if this is a silly question but I have never seen the Suez Canel before....:o

It depends where you are :)

 

It might make sense to look at it on google maps:

Some parts are split in two. You'll see a strip of land down the middle and you keep to "lane" on the right :)

 

Other places it looks like a really wide river, and ships keep to the right. There's plenty of room for every one.

 

It's much wider than Panama.

I always expected the Suez Canal to be pretty much the same as the Panama Canal. How wrong I was:p

 

Thanks, Neil. It was me that asked for it :)
