Captain Wells provides noon update onboard Cunard’s Queen Mary 2

On 30th July 2016 Queen Mary 2 Captain Christopher Wells broadcasts his daily update from the bridge.
Queen Mary 2 was sailing an eastbound trans Atlantic crossing from New York to Southampton. This was the fourth full sea day since departing from Halifax; the crossing had included a call at Halifax, Nova Scotia on 26th July. Here on a clear Atlantic day, Captain Wells gives his customary noon address mentioning the island of Tearaght (Irish: An Tiaracht, meaning ''the westerly"), Valentia, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Porcupine Abyssal Plain, sea cucumbers, sea spiders, tunicates and dumbo octopus. At 03:39 the third officer provides further navigational details.

we will miss the daily update from this great captain, a real gentleman. Do hope he is enjoying his much deserved retirement.

Awe....I didn't realise Captain Wells had retired....I sailed twice on the QM2 in 2015.

This is a noon update? What happened to the whistles? QE2 always sounded her whistles (horns) at noon every day. Mary needs to step it up with the Cunard traditions.

I tried to capture noon whistles here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqG9pHl5r7Gip68

Yeah well , the only notice I wanted to hear was that qm2 was beng retired and the re activation of QE2 . Nothing but nothing would make me want to go on the bucket known as qm2 again . You cant polish a turd
