If the destination wasn't stating Lancaster you would swear she was on her way to the Shetlands.

Steaming SE at 5.4 Knts, destination still Lancaster.

plumbus,

Sincerely hope bobsworth is correct but with light fading and weather deteriorating I would be surprised if we get hoked-up tonight.

on the move in a SW direction.

Now appears to have moved off approx 0.5nm to the north.

Is my comp or AIS playing up but I have AN offshore vessel alongside the stern of the AM.

Disappointing but weather fine for another shot at it tomorrow.

There can be no more excuses after this weekend, the weather is perfect and I assume from the Helicopter visit yesterday, she will have all the top brass on board.

Hope I'm wrong but I can't see the hook-up happening today the AM is still periodically on the move and the weather is expected to change for the worse post-1500hrs.

The AM disappeared off AIS 0554 aprprox 3nm short of the buoy location, she hasn't shown a position all day then 2045hrs pops up showing position for a couple of minutes then disappears off AIS again.
Maybe they didn't want to give shipwatchers an advantage over the market.
Lets see if an RNS clears the matter up tomorrow.

Although I stated it's any ones guess where the AM is now, I haven't completely ruled out her being attached to the buoy.

on her way north, destination Aoka Mizu.

False alarm she is displaying an old position looks as though the AIS has been turned on, to give the position displayed, then turned it off, maybe playing games with us.
Any ones guess where she is now.

Could be wrong but I think she is hooked -up her position doesn't appear to be changing the 0.7 knts could be tidal flow.

IMO the AM will maintain a holding position overnight arriving on the buoy location 7/8 AM to commence preparations for the hook-up.
They have had two dummy runs so I'm expecting everything to go like clockwork.
This time next year Rodders.

1.15 m buy after hrs.

Sorry snaggleptooth posts crossed, you're probably nearer the mark than me.

Weather conditions Thurs Frid meet Dr T Spec of less than 2m wave & swell height so hopefully, all systems go.

If AM maintains her present speed of 8knts we should arrive at Lancaster at 9 pm.
