Safari Helicopter Hawaii August 12th 2018
Переглядів 836 років тому
Ever since I heard that Kilauea was erupting again, I was hoping to get to Hawaii to see the spectacle for myself. Eventually I managed to get there, and booked a helicopter ride on Safari Helicopters in Hilo. However, as the latest USGS report stated, there was a lull in eruptive activity on the LERZ (lower east rift zone). A gas plume could be seen billowing from the Fissure 8 cone, and a sma...
Unhappy Elephant

I do believe our driver should have got a move on sooner than he did. I felt bad for the poor elephant who clearly was unhappy with us :(.

Queen Mary 2 leaves Halifax, the birthplace of Samuel Cunard, on the 175th anniversary of Cunard's first Transatlantic crossing, accompanied by Theodore Tug Boat. This is the same video that I uploaded previously, but the audio had been muted due to copyright issues.
How to Nearly Miss Queen Victoria in Bermuda
Переглядів 8557 років тому
On the Queen Victoria 2017 World Voyage we were about to set sail from Bermuda, and the gangway had been taken in, when 2 missing passengers arrived on a bus and ran down the pier to the ship. Luckily the gangway was put out again, and after a talking to by an officer, the 2 lucky passengers were able to board the ship, and off we sailed! www.whereissafarigal.wordpress.com
In Search of Wild Dogs

This is the movie that goes with my blog - www.whereissafarigal.wordpress.com. It was filmed in Kruger National Park out of the window of an old shaky Toyota Corolla, or the back of my brother in law's van, so I apologize for the quality of the movie. However, the animals are the stars, and they all played their parts extremely well. The skottle cooks also did a great job too!

A Day out on the Waverley

Waverley is the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world. A day trip on her is quite a treat. The music may not be entirely appropriate, we weren't on Loch Lomond, but I love those two songs!

Although all of the sailaways were fantastic, dolphins, whales, and a lost sail boat all made for an interesting and unique crossing.

The World Voyage of the cruise ship R.M.S. Queen Mary 2.
Very cool
QM2 horns just farted, QV horns is Normal and sounds better
Lovely moment ..great shot! Subscribed!
Thank you!
Absolutely loved that video I bet the two captains were having a great banter between them excellent video thanks for the laugh even though I shouldn't have🤣
Wonderful! The passengers would have enjoyed that immensely. Great photography.
It was great, especially as we could wave to friends on board QV :)
We did!
She was a fantastically beautiful and elegant ship ! A great addition to the list of legendary Cunard ocean liners !! I’m so glad she was saved from the scrapyards , and is now safely permanently moored in Dubai as a hotel and tourist attraction!! Long Live the QE2 !!!
What a incredibly awe inspiring sound ! I wonder how many of the viewers of this great short know , as you and I do , that one of the horns on QM2 ‘s funnel is an original 1936 horn on loan from the first Queen Mary now docked in Long Beach, California?!? Thank You for the wonderful video !!!
Wonderful Video!! Great photography and color !! Your choice of music is perfection! Classy and elegant musical background for the awe inspiring British Queens ! Thank You for the fantastic video !! Long live the Cunard Queens !!!
Fantastic Video !! Beautiful photography and color !! The Cunard Queens are the most elegant and classy looking vessels in the world !! Thank You for the great work and video. Long Live the Queen Mary 2 and the Queen Victoria!!!!
If the Cunard Queens are the most elegant and classy looking vessels in the world, imagine in which sorry state the world of passenger vessels is. 90 years ago they wouldn't even have been considered vessels, they would have been considered floating shoeboxes, for how ugly they would have been compared to the passenger ships of the time.
What magnificent creations of man's skill and hard work...truly a testament to our brother's across the pond...
The QE2 imo had the sweeter sound, not to take away thing from the QM2 which was just as magnificent!!!! Love them both!!!!!
Respect…..
on the foreshortened World Voyage, the cruise liner Queen Mary 2 guest choir performed a flash choir performance during afternoon tea in the Queens Room.
Whistle? Its a horn ffs!
It’s not even a competition, these horns wailing. It’s a glorious salute from one sister to another! Gives me shivers, these two. Long live the ships of Cunard. ❤️❤️❤️
Where is QE2 now?
She is a floating hotel in Dubai. We have stayed there a couple of times, and although I would much rather be on her for a transatlantic crossing, I think the owners have done a fairly good job preserving her as a hotel.
nice video im bi fan the q2 and qm2
Me too!
there horns not whistles QE2 impressive horn
Queen mary 2 horn
If we can't hear QE2 any more, then definitely Queen Mary 2 is the best out there :)
My 2 favorite ships in the world!!! I love how QE2's reverbs so much...brings back so many good memories!!! She still shows her "daughter" ship who the Queen of the Seas is and always will be!!!
When QE2 got that reverb going, there was no stopping that whistle. What I wouldn't give to hear it once again.....
QE2
The British are coming.. Look out America
I can't believe it - that's me a 1'14" !!
No sound??? Why??
Grrrrrrr! When I made the video I put together the perfect soundtrack I thought. I also thought it was a good way to showcase the music I chose. But the copywrite people for two of the songs clearly didn't think so, and had the video muted :(. I redid it after removing those songs and replacing them, and uploaded the new movie at ua-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&ar=2&video_id=pJa6AoejFAc.
@@samuels5731 Thank you for your reply. Sorry you had problems. I'll go a check the revised video with new songs.
0:35 hey look it's Foduck with Theodore
I have no sound on this video, but I have it for others. On the other hand, these guys seem to have been hearing music, etc, although I don't.
Actually, that's Theodore Too!
You are correct :)
Yep it's him theodore tugboat
Wow back in the days
Hate to be a whoose about it, but none of the following three Cunarders departing brings such heartfelt pleasure as seeing QE2 asea.
I totally agree!
It's on my bucket list
No Sound!
I know! They muted my sound due to copyright issues - I have republished it at the link below. I hope that works. If not, try this: ua-cam.com/video/pJa6AoejFAc/v-deo.html Thanks!
Yo viaje en el queen elizabet 2 en el 2008 a mis 5 años
I was on the QE2 leaving Quebec Sep 2008 it was so sad
This video could have been taken from any ship as there is no evidence that the Video maker was on board the Queen Mary.
Yes indeed it could have been taken from any ship. However, the superstructure of the bridge and observation deck, and the position of the lifeboats are unique to QM2. As is her whistle. I was really trying to capture the beauty of sailing into New York on a beautiful morning, and the greeting by the John H Harvey, rather than capture the beauty of QM2 herself.
@@samuels5731 Well i sailed that sailing also and its 100% as i remember the sailing into the Hudson that morning, think i must have being close by to where this video was recorded

There he is theodore tugboat
It was great to see him lead the large QM2 out of Halifax harbour!
safarigal i know
I know Theodore tugboat I watch the tv show when I was a kid
When I was a kid I drew sketches off Theodore tugboat
top one carry one
sure, take a perfectly good video and ruin it with stupid music
Alas when I was editing the movie I realized that the original sound track consisted mainly of me coughing and sneezing and my husband yelling at his camera and snapping photos. Nasty. Without the sound the movie seemed very soporific and bland, so I added the music, hoping that if viewers didn't like it they could always mute the video.
safarigal ok great reasons and reason. So don't I feel like an ass lol. I think we'd all still rather hear the reality instead and optionally mute that. Unless it's stuff you don't want us to hear, then that's personal and obviously up to you. ;)
These images would appear to show a much more sea worthy ship than the QE2. The same footage taken from Queen Mary 2 shows the QE2 pitching quite dramatically in what appears no more than a moderate sea. Having said that it is undeniable that QE2 has survived some horrendous conditions throughout her 39 years of service.
We did pitch a wee bit, but the crossing was actually remarkably smooth. Both QE2 and Qm2 ride the waves well :)
@@samuels5731 Also, the weather was not the same throughout - from memory, it improved and eventually the external pool was opened.
The sound track was removed due to my inclusion of 2 of Mike Oldfield's tracks from his QE2 CD. Although I love this CD, and feel that the music was very appropriate, I have removed those tracks and changed the sound track. I have republished the video at ua-cam.com/video/pJa6AoejFAc/v-deo.html .
:)
Agree abut the sound was on top deck on 18th Sept 1989 right behind the funnel when we went into dense fog ahead of what turned out to be Hurricane Hugo ahead a friend had their video camera running nearly blasted our ear drums out ! wonderful very moving, not to put too fine a point on it, she saved the lives of all those on board! x
What an amazing experience that must have been. I miss QE2 a lot, but what I miss most is that sound :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The captain of QM2 would have to admit that QE2 had the best whistle - by far!
QE2's horn is more impressive.
It is still my totally favorite sound! I love QM2, but nothing compares to our good old QE2 :)
Yes
Some good memories of the voyage.

Another great video from on board the Grand Lady of the Seas. Kudos and thanks for posting!
