Chetsky Posted June 10, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Am I missing something or what? If you zoom in on the satellite view it appears to me that the ship is land locked . It seems the only way out of the basin is to the stern of the ship and that looks like a road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERLEC Posted June 10, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2010 If the Sea trials starts between 3 and 4 local time, does that mean around 9 or 10pm EST? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERLEC Posted June 10, 2010 #13 Share Posted June 10, 2010 That's right. It stopped and it's now back anchored. I wonder why it moved a little and then it stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYAustinGal Posted June 10, 2010 #15 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Aren't they like 6 hours or so ahead of us ... wouldn't it already be night time in France? It's not afternoon there, so what time zone is being referenced for 3-4 in the afternoon? Am confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise_With_Me Posted June 10, 2010 #16 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Seems like this 'tug boat' is next to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
