Salt N' Pepa is onboard. She will get on in Brunswick which now shows on 10/23 though 4 days from NYC to GA seems like a long time. Any while it works better from me GA before SC seems strange. We are in Atlanta so we home to have her by the end of the month. as of 6:41 on the 20th Tombarra is it chesapeake bay should be in Baltimore this evening a day early.

I thought I read somewhere that the VDC is only open Mon-Fri. Might not matter as I think the Brunswick port only handles MINIs for Florida and Georgia.(?) I think that's why they bypass Charleston where a much larger number of cars depart. Just guessing here but makes sense to me.

While www.marinetraffic.com does not have any data for Brunswick I did find a site www.vesseltracker.com that shows day old data and it shows Tombarra 10 miles out of Brunswick at 6:45 on 10.23 (don’t know if the 6:45 is UTC or local). The WW site does not show a discharge time yet. Those of you how got off earlier was there a delay it the site updating? If not I hope there is not a backup of cars at the port making them have to keep them on the boat longer or a delay due to the last minute change to skip CHARLESTON and having to gets cars off out of order. WW does show it leaving today and getting to CHS on the 25th. Those waiting there can also look at http://www.scspa.com/vessel_schedule.asp it gives detail of what ships are there and times. Good luck to all.
