I shared the same bit of sea with it last year: it's huge. I used it as a lesson on the important of keeping a good lookout. I kept asking pupil (and larval boat skipper) if she could see anything, that might worry a skipper no she kept saying. Nothing in sight.
Eventually, I suggested she might hazard a glance astern. Her 'oh my God!' at the sight of the QM2 large and close was good value.
