Global Succes has come to a stop just off Alang beaching area.
Destiny is still heading for Goa.

Looks like she needed a couple of goes at getting her tow going in the right direction.  Cannot tell whether she had asisstance form any local vessels.

Hoping that her current anchorage - in line with some other oldies heading for the beach - is just a convenient resting place, not a prelude to her own final dash

I think you're right Tomas, their just doing this to confuse us, it's a distraction and meanwhile they repicating them so we'll never have to miss them  ;)

By the way, I'd really like to see the video you link, but it won't show.

Destiny is now still in the water near Goa.

Didn't go as far as Goa, DH. But weaving a strange course NW of Mumbai and now showing "not under command"  Looks like some sort of engine problem.  All the recent track has been at about 1kn, except for the northerly run, which kept up a steady 7kn until dropping back again to 1kn now.

Doesnt "not under command" mean that there is no owner that they know of?...I don't know. Destination is now Mumbai, so repairs or owner change.....maybe a pick up? The other one is a couple of miles South stationary.

Also, if anyone likes this, a youtube clip from onboard the Waker, Coastguard emergency respons vessel (ex name Solo (Greenpeace), Smit Houston) and sister of Smit New York, now Hua An. They were the two smaller sisters of the ones we're following here.

Especially the first bit shows how they sail in adverse weather.
I also found this one, deck tour on the Succes:
