BOARD THE STEAMSHIP RANGATIRA FOR A SCENIC VOYAGE OUT THROUGH THE PICTON SOUND AND SAIL AROUND GANNETT ISLAND
 

--------------------



Picton is a favourite destination for overseas and local visitors. Sailing in through the sounds is a scenic experience.

Today you will be hanging up your engineers cap and putting on your captains cap.
It is best to let your assistant do most of the work ... you will just need to give him some instructions.

 

Here are the instructions for the captains assistant.

           
    *** Navigate Via Trackmark ... Picton Ship Turn 1
                *** Navigate Via Trackmark ... Picton Ship Turn 2
                *** Navigate Via Trackmark ... Picton Wharf Ship Reverse
                *** Navigate To Trackmark ... Picton Ship Dock

 

--------------------

 

If you would like the ship running as a backdrop simply steer the Rangatira manually simply sail out past the Sea-Cruise-Route-2 (points) buoy. From there the points are defaulted to allow the boat to loop continuously.

To dock the boat simply sail back around past this Sea-Cruise-Route-2 (points) buoy and the points are set to allow you to reverse into the wharf. (remember to dock slowly as the ship will take a long distance to stop)
