Hi Peter -

You are #1 on the list to refit QE2 Jigsaw 'Evening at Sea'.  You will be pleased when you see the colors in "real life".  They are just like your painting.  My photos are giving the jigsaw and the box an odd hue.

If you will e-mail or PM your mailing address, our QE2 (jigsaw) will be on her first North Atlantic passage and on her way to the moorings at your house.

Hi Everyone -

When I arrived home yesterday from work, the tugs were just leaving my house, and the docking crew were making fast the last mooring ropes.  QE2 (Jigsaw Evening at Sea) greeted me with a mighty whistle blast !

Here are some photos.  The colors are much better in the jigsaw than those captured by my camera.  I was getting a reflection with the flash so took the photos in natural evening light.

June   :)

Brilliant news! Well done to Peter for painting it, and for all June's work in organising it. :)

Our QE2 (Jigsaw 'Evening at Sea') left Dock 352 at my house at 10:00 on Saturday 18 October.

She picked up her pilot and left Old Mystic, CT, USA, at 12:31 on Saturday 18 October.

She fueled and provisioned at Springfield, MA, USA, and departed with pilot still aboard at 03:22 on Sunday 19 October.

QE2 (Jigsaw) arrived at New York, NY, USA, at 08:46 today and will soon depart on her transatlantic voyage.  She is currently boarding a few more passengers. 

Peter, please alert docking crew and puzzle crew to be on standby as she will come into sight in a couple of days. 

June   :D

Very good, Peter !   :D

QE2 (Jigsaw) left New York at 14:24 this afternoon 20 October 2014.  She is moving fast these days and she should be in sight tomorrow or the next day.

Would that be 18.14 US time or 18.14 UK local time?

QE2 has arrived at an anchorage at my office and is currently awaiting a favourable tide ( i.e. going home time - 17.15 ) before moving into her berth at home.

Hi Peter -

Great news !!   :D  I trust she had a good voyage, and I am sure that she is very much looking forward to making her way to the moorings at your home on the appropriate tide.  (I do believe the 18:14 time of clearing Customs yesterday was UK local time.)  Please send photos !

I started the jigsaw last night and yes, I have done photos of the progress so far.  If I get time I'll do more tonight.

So far I have done 100% of the edge, 99% of QE2 and 100% of the horizon line...  All that took about two hours in total.  :)
