Here is the call sign for the Freedom: WDB5483

You can track it on sailwx with that. No reports as of yet, it is still too close to land I guess.

The Captain doesn't like to make position reports I guess. No reports for this voyage at all and it departed 3 days ago.

Your Captain seems to be one that just checks in at random, you may be abe to track her till the US coast. If not you can start checking for her on the AISfree site about 18 - 30 hours prior to scheuled arrivial date.

Thanks for the link coop.

2nd report for the Freedom! Looks like she made close to 300 miles. Another 5 days and she will be docked according to the schedule.

Anyone have a booking number for the FREEDOM? I'm pretty sure my mini is on the ship, but it wont come up in the search... (I know its not on the next ship because I searched through the list of cargo)

Sorry, it will be all good. The boat is docking today, so we'll know.

Oh duh, here's the booking number: GBSOU562652

I just reralized when you put in the vin it tells you the booking number. It looks like there are 70 vins on the boat.
