michlins: 2-4 hours depending on traffic. The roads are terrible. This journey leads directly to Calabar Marina which is in the heart of Calabar. I was impressed with my experience and I took the water the next day back to Oron. 2 Likes |

kingreign:Why you dey doubt the speed? |
Re: My Ferry Trip From Oron To Calabar by kingreign(m): 2:08pm On Jan 05, 2023 |
jceesquare:Because the speed no vary when we took turns around the mangroves it held steady at 158km/h but the speed of each engine varied when we took the turns. 1 Like |

kingreign:O I see. But do you think the ferry was moving as fast as 158km/h at any time? |
Re: My Ferry Trip From Oron To Calabar by kingreign(m): 2:12pm On Jan 05, 2023 |
jceesquare:I don’t. But I can’t tell, as this is my first time on a motorized boat, water transport has a different feel from road transport feelings. Also, this is a relatively big boat and I believe it’s heavy 5 Likes |

kingreign:Exactly my thoughts. Even with the fiberglass body, it would be impressive to know those motors could jet the boat to that speed considering the people and cargo onboard. 3 Likes |

kingreign:Maybe you should use a GPS to clock the speed next time. Never been on a ferry or motorized boat for more than 15mins cos of my phobia for water |

Op, are you from Oron? That's my place. |
Re: My Ferry Trip From Oron To Calabar by Lanshile(m): 8:55am On Jan 06, 2023 |
The reason why I love road trip if im the one driving is that my faith is in my hand Besides land is the only place we can survive cos that is our habitual residence If plane crash man cannot withstand the excess air intake and if boat or ship drown the salty water intake is a problem and also drowning Op road transportation is the best 10 Likes |

So they've upgraded the facility. How bumpy was the ride and how comfy are the seats? It seems preferable than a bolt ride to cally. |

Lanshile: Air transport is very very safe. I prefer the air transport lately. I used to look forward to long distance driving but at the moment, I don’t advice such because of the security situation of the country and the state of our highways. 11 Likes 1 Share |
