Gold Coast Cruisers Posted April 23, 2010 #51 Share Posted April 23, 2010 My guess is late sunday afternoon arr in brissy. I would guess that it's normal cruising speed would be around 18 - 22 knots. Jillybean:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yatchet Posted April 23, 2010 #52 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I would guess that it's normal cruising speed would be around 18 - 22 knots. Jillybean:) Yes, thats about right. So currently at 11knts, I would suspect that only one prop/propulsion system is in use .:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc_double Posted April 23, 2010 #53 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Its not looking too promising, I wonder when it actually left Cairns? Does anyone know, as it still has a long way to go to arrive in Brisbane by Sunday, and the problem needs to be fixed before they can even thinking of us all leaving on the next cruise.

Sandielle Posted April 23, 2010 #55 Share Posted April 23, 2010 According to my DH, who watches the tracker quite a bit :cool: it is often not updated regularly. So don't panic YET! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted April 23, 2010 #56 Share Posted April 23, 2010 it is often not updated regularly Thats for sure. If she is limping along , perhaps they could dispatch a powerful high speed tug to tow her in to Brisbane?:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australian family Posted April 23, 2010 #66 Share Posted April 23, 2010 They just need to call into Hervey Bay and get the motors off the Awesome or use the Awesome to tow it back to Brisbane. It will go quicker then the New Zealand Navy! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinph Posted April 24, 2010 #67 Share Posted April 24, 2010 No way! We are giving you the Pacific Sun back as soon as OUR Pacific Pearl arrives.:D Pacific Pearl is only 1 year younger than Pacific Sun, so for those that are ready to write off Pacific Sun because she is too old, you may as well do the same for the Pearl !!:rolleyes:.

Gold Coast Cruisers Posted April 25, 2010 #75 Share Posted April 25, 2010 My neighbour is on this cruise. She was sent an SMS again last night confirming boarding will take place between 1500 and 1700 but it didn't say what time they would sail..... I wonder why... :rolleyes: Anyway she's on her way up to board the ship now. At least they can enjoy a Sunday afternoon cocktail once on board. I wouldn't mind just staying onboard at the wharf for a couple of days as long as I don't have to cook or clean I'm happy... ;) Once those bow ropes are released she's on her own......
