From todays nautical information made available to passengers in the “Daily Programme"
( distributed to ones stateroom):
"After disembarking our Southampton pilot yesterday evening, QM 2 sailed into the English
Channel and set westerly courses paralleling the southern English coast. During the
evening QM 2 passed south of the Bill of Portland and Start Point. By the early hours of
the morning we will be to the South of Bishop Rock, marking the traditional start of the
transatlantic passage towards our destination of Halifax."
The day started with bright sunshine which lasted the whole day. A light breeze and a
temperature of 19-20 C made it a very pleasant day.
