On sunday 2/4/07 i went to SF to watch the Queen Mary 2 enter the SF bay..she is the largest liner to ever come here and was on her 27 day of an around the world 80 day cruise..im not much into "big boats" but she was much bigger than i had imagined..and quite magnificent in her own right..there was an armada of vessles out on the bay to greet her..tomarrow i will post some of the various vessles if you guys want to see them..
She came in on one tide..then had to ancore and await another tide to be docked..the crowds to welcome her were HUGE some say 50 to 60 thousand..
This is her having just passed under the Golden Gate bridge..Here she is entering SF bay
Here she is much closer the bow of the Queen Queen ancored and waiting to get docked Another shot of her waitng to be docked  
This is her as she got closer..

This is a shot of her as she passed in front of me..its a bow shot..with alcatraz island prison in the background and a US Coast Guard heli above her..
These next two shots are of her ancored in the bay at night while she waited for another tide so she could be docked..
Ok dont want to bore you guys..tomarrow will be the vessles part..
