Rare MicCanberra Posted April 9 #26 Share Posted April 9 The Solstice is set to leave at 9.30am, my guess is the the pilot will get off and jump across to the Majestic so she can come in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic seems to be doing “ laps” up and down the coast ( or why didnt she go to Athol Buoy ?) It was probably too dangerous for pilot transfers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also considered too dangerous to navigate through Sydney Heads, with a crosswind southerly blowing a gale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their AIS shows they are skipping Lifou and heading straight to their 2nd stop at Mystery Island. A blessing they are cruising via the Islands and not NZ - that would be quite a crossing ATM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing is a bonus, but leaving 6+ hrs late might incur a modified itinerary. They may go slow and skip Picton, which would be a shame.

Yes, they have missed them, and even those with 2pm domestic flights will be struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
