She's going back to Southhampton tomorrow so she'll be going the opposite way but I'm not sure when all that's going to be happening. :cool:

 

 

Back over 10kts now :) And going by marinetraffic she should be coming back to S'ton at 5:00am UK time which is about 130pm my time so Ill still be working bleh

The Southampton webcam is rubbish. I am on the Cowes webcam now but not sure if I will see her from there. The best webcam which updates every 10 secs is the one at Ryde on the Isle of Wight. Happy webcamming! :)

Yes I am also a NESS!

11.5 knots now... must have just been other ship traffic in the area to slow her down a bit. I want to see her doing over 14 knots!!! :D

 

I'll be sleeping at 5AM UK time! LOL :eek: I have class tomorrow so I must sleep or else risk getting the dreaded finger pointed at me to answer a bazillion questions... he who risks sleeping or texting during class risks the class dunce cap for the day with these instructors!!! :eek:

Excellent work Rick!!! :D

[jarz85]

GOT MY FIX FOR THE NIGHT lol

 

Not an awesome cam but managed to squeeze her in!

 

[kikki21]

I hope some of you were on the Cowes webcam as got a good shot of her in view, she's not taking the route I thought she was, she appears to be heading down to Christchurch, or maybe she's going to go round the Isle of Wight. One of my friends is down there so she might get to see her!

[jarz85]

Im not sure but it looks like she is turning back towards Ryde??

[kikki21]

Good shot, I was watching that one, she's turned now and is heading towards the Ryde webcam!

[CruisinMaterial]

She's got an interesting path going on... a cruise to nowhere can surely do that to a ship! :D Still not going too fast either! She needs to get out to the open water and break it loose to test that shaft! :)

[CruisinMaterial]

Wooohooo!!!

 

15.8 knots!!!! :d:d

[kikki21]

Does 14.6 knots mean she is ok?! :rolleyes:

She was doing 13.4 max speed all day yesterday so I am assuming that anything over 14 would mean they are using both screws equally. Max speed on the one screw would be 14 which is half the ship's max speed. :cool:

[kikki21]

or even 15.8 knots now!

[jarz85]

Just hit 16.2kts I think that is more than she managed from Rotterdam? Would love to see her get over 20. Also its getting late here and I have to go to bed but I want to see her pass Ryde first!

[kikki21]

You won't have too long to wait, she should be due shortly as Ryde, the speed she is going at!

You can't go to bed! :p

 

This is exciting so they must be testing out her screw to see if it's working properly and that the fix is holding! I've got my fingers and toes crossed that it does... well I have to type so maybe not the fingers but definitely the toes... no cramps yet! :p

I can't tell where this webcam is looking at! :( How much longer do you think? I'm taking a statement and don't want to miss it! :D

[kikki21]

She's clocking at 17.2 now, go Epic!!! :rolleyes:

[CruisinMaterial]

AHHH!!! I just saw her!!! :D Wow! She went by that camera pretty fast and is kicking up a wake from the side of the ship she wasn't before from the looks of it! All systems go! YIPPPEEEE!!! :D

[kikki21]

Yep saw her too, she went steaming by, much faster than yesterday of course... still not sure where she is heading now, maybe she will do a coastal showing off cruise! :)

[jarz85]
