I'll just put this out there
Watch our full video of SpaceX recovering Starship S40 from the Indian Ocean in the quoted post:
I cannot understate the scale of this thing. It's comically huge
Two long years of waiting to see this. Man oh man
Starship S40 approaching Christmas Island:
Starship continues to be afloat 143 hours since touchdown and has traveled 370km from the LZ. Currently 1255km from the nearest Australian shoreline. GO Australis is still trailing Starship while SKIMMER TIDE and NORMAND RANGER are 700 and 490 kilometers away respectively.

Okay so, bit of confusion over what's happening yesterday so here's where we're at:
Two vessels are outbound to S40 to assist in recovery operations. NORMAND RANGER and SKIMMER TIDE. Both are similar in size to Australis and Ranger especially seems fit for towing. Ranger will arrive at the site in the next day and a half while Skimmer will arrive in two. GO Australis is still closely following the drifting Starship, 134 hours and counting since landing.
