Cheers m'dear !

.... Despite rumours to the contrary, both ships are sailing neck and neck in fairly close proximity as of the afternoon of January 10. However, there is some discussion that at their present speed one of the ships at least, may not be able to catch up the time to arrive in New York as scheduled...

Rumours eh? So they are neck and neck but not close enough to arrive together - sounds like a Blair / Brown'ism does that.
I reckon the 'QE2' has the hammer down - a few loose fixings will matter little now as she pushes the 'gin palace' !

plenty of Redex and jettison the unessential should give her an extra knot or two.
