Wonderful set of photos Gerry, and especially with that dramatic backdrop of the cloud/mist lying over the hills.
I like your shots Gerry, especially the ones with the low clouds, quite different, even though the weather was not so good all day.
She is a very handsome vessel inside, quite plush, but understated, if you know what I mean - a bit of class and quiet elegance.
She will be back at GOT twice in 2009.

Thanks Tony, I thought she was pretty smart looking for today's standards.
