chic014 0 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 You can see it on www.marinetraffic.com Seems to be clear now. Boat is Schelde Trader on route to Noumea. On marine traffic click on the boat (is just outside Mount Maunganui now) then click show track and you see where it went aground. Link to post Share on other sites
