Two images of the passenger ships BLACK WATCH and QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 racing against each other while sailing from Lisbon on 14 August 2007. The smaller, handy Fred Olsen ship was able to arrive first at Lisbon Pilot Station and go out into the Atlantic. The slower majestic QE2 still need tugs and takes more time to unberth.

This year's event was held March 31st with starting line in front of the VTS tower. Organized by ANL, it was sponsored by Apibarra and Lutamar. I must also add that one of the races was in fact won by a colleague Lisbon Pilot...
Qualquer dia o LMC corre-nos do blog...;)
Quem não gostou nada da situação foi o Cte do QE2 que promete em VHF canal 16 ao Cte do Black Watch, reclamação por escrito!!!
