I can't tell too much from the thumbnail, but it looks like they may have been "boxing the compass". This is a procedure that has to be done every couple years, and requires swinging the ship a full circle and recording the magnetic compass reading to the gyro compass reading. Often there will be a compass adjuster onboard to move the "navigator's balls" (no not those balls), the large metal spheres on each side of the compass to try to minimize the compass error.

Have to admit... I giggled a little! :D

Oh. Clear as mud.

We had a similar maneuver last year after leaving the POM on the Getaway. The ship circled back and stopped outside the last channel marker to offload a medical emergency and we waited for a Miami-Dade fire rescue boat to pick up the passenger and take them back to shore.

We were watching and listening on the Miami webcam and heard a radio transmission between the ship and the coast guard concerning a medical evac. Once they contacted the CG, they stopped and waited on the CG ship to get to them from Miami. We were surprised it only took 5-7 minutes eta for them to get to the Breeze.

Alright then. Got it.

Nothing to worry about, they just blew a flux capacitor.

 

Luckily, someone was able to pull one of a 1985 Delorean and get it to them ASAP.
