jarz85 Posted June 24, 2010 #151 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Does anyone know if she went over 20kts during that last run? Or wouldnt they need to go that fast for a cruise to nowhere. Also I wonder if she will leave on time for the TA tonight? If so Im staying up to 2am to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I wonder if she will leave on time for the TA tonight? If so Im staying up to 2am to watch! If she made it past 20 knots, I didn't see it. The fastest speed I noticed was 18.6 knots at the 02:32:49 UTC mark on her return to Southampton. As far as I know she will leave on time for the TA. At least I have not read anything to the contrary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No she didn't go over 20 knots yesterday at all. Not sure if they didn't have enough room to get her up to that speed or if they just decided not to push it past the speed necessary to get her across the pond. Either way, she did plenty of maneuvering and going in circles yesterday and speeding up and slowing down so she's in good shape to get to NYC. You get NBC down there?

Good morning to you, good 10pm at night to me! I'm seriously debating whether or not I should stay up til 3am to watch the Epic leave hahha that would be silly wouldnt it? As for the NBC thing I dont think we do get it (devo'd) the only channels we get on pay tv are Fox News, CNN and BBC so Im going to luck out on the Epic July 4th :( I will look for a way to 'legally' view it live on the internet if not I will wait for it to be posted somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure someone somewhere will post it on YouTube or the like and you'll see it. I can't wait to see it then. I hope they do a really good job of showcasing the ship. I don't think it's been announced either who the acts will be performing either. :cool: I'm trying to figure out what time on the East Coast it'll be for when she leaves so I can watch her take off. If it's 10 your time and it's leaving at 3 your time then it should be leaving 2PM our time?? :o Ah math so early in the AM! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarz85 Posted June 24, 2010 #156 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Hmmm it seems I cant even figure out my own times! According to Southampton port it will depart at 1700 local time, currently its 1:41pm local time so thats 3 hours 20. At the moment here its 10:11pm so do the math and that makes it 1:30am (very doable lol) As for your time on the east coast, in New York where the time is currently 8:41am so it would be a 12pm departure? Hope that makes sense as I'm very tired (only got 4.5 hours sleep last night THANKS TO THE EPIC!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangegrove Posted June 24, 2010 #157 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Per http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/shipping_movments.asp it looks like it will be leaving 5pm UK time that should be noon east coast. Is that correct? I know this is ridiculous that I am so obsessed with this! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone had a hotel's website up that looked at the water but it didn't work for me because we're dinosaur's here and have an old version of IE.

jarz85 Posted June 24, 2010 #166 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Yeah I think there are 3 webcams we can look at? The one just out of Southampton that has a 10 minute delay (jeez) then there is the Cowes one and then Ryde. I was looking around to see if any cruise ships were nearby that we could have a look on their webcam, the QM2 is on her way to Southampton but doesnt arrive until tomorrow morning so lucked out there. Also I dont think Im going to be able to stay up :( Im just way too tired and have a headache so keep a look out guys and plz post a cam snap or two for me :) See you tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangegrove Posted June 24, 2010 #172 Share Posted June 24, 2010 OK, I need to run errands and be back in less than 2 hours. If I don't go now, we may have a toilet issue in our house later. That is no paper!:eek: and I don't want to be interrupted as I watch the departure! See you all soon! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's get the line up of web cams going here!! :D Here are the webcams I know about in the order that the Epic will pass them: Southampton: http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/webcams.htm Cowes: http://www.cowesharbourweather.com/webcam.aspx Ryde: http://www.ais-live.co.uk/aismap/AIS%20Maps/solentcam.html for webcam and AIS map http://www.solentship.co.uk/Webcam/ for just the webcam Ventnor: http://www.burlingtonhotel.uk.com/webcam.htm The last link is the hotel webcam which was mentioned in another thread. You will want to change the view to "Ventnor". I don't know if there will be a good view from that webcam. If she passes that Ventnor webcam, it will probably be a distant view.
