Where is the Breakaway going?

[johnnypiano]

Just happened to look at MarineTraffic and Breakaway appears to be heading back toward New Jersey. Current course is 292 (NW) and she has sped up from her usual 12-13 knots to nearly 20 knots. Any word as to why?

Med emergency?

[Winston Wolf]

Has to be a med emergency.

 

They've increased speed from 12 knots to 19 knots as they head back.

Does the Coast Guard in Atlantic City broadcast their radio transmissions? It would be interesting to listen in.

[jrm116]

Hmmm.

 

They wouldn't go all the way back to NYC would they?

Not for a medical emergency. Looks like they're heading towards Atlantic City. They just need to get close enough to be in range of the helicopter that will go to the Breakaway to pick up the patient.

That makes sense.......thanks!

I'll be keeping an eye on the ship webcam, which should get interesting if they do an evac.

But I doubt it would show anything if BA gets close.

18.8kn / 293*

"...We are awaiting a coast guard helicopter to take a child who got hurt back to NY. no further details at this time"

[Johnny Bananas]

And Marine traffic shows the helicopter is getting closer now

[meatball_nyc]

Hope everything turns out okay.

Up on the sports court they also have a place for a helicopter to drop a winch, so we might not see anything on the bow.

[meatball_nyc]

Good point.

Edit: there are two crew members in orange on her bow now.

I don't know, it looks like there are two crew members up on deck and possibly others the deck below...to the bottom left.

[LrgPizza]

Yep, watching. There will soon be about 75 people taking screen shots at once. LOL

[diskids2]
