You can't just afk for 5 minutes and hope they'll eventually make it. The [npc=138242]'s will stop at the end of each lane and block the turtles for eternity.
This might be the only WQ where time of day makes a difference for me: at sunrise and sunset, it can be awfully difficult to see the targeting circle on the albatrosses.
