They both depart Southampton on the 6th at 5pm, so the on following day, they will be in the South Western Approaches, about 80 miles SE of Fastnet about noon on 7th. From then its the northerly Great Circle to NY. If someone is going to put in an appearance, I'll get the correct announcements made so everyone knows who's who. I'll get some snaps of you and post them here. I'll be on the QE2.
Update: actually, they'll be east of that position. QV doesn't have the legs of QE2 so it won't be such a quick passage. Two large contacts travelling due west at 20 knots should be easy to spot.
