As of now the WW site still has her coming into PH as scheduled. The only change I've seen so far was the departure from Manzanillo (was 5/20, now shows 5/21).
Arrrggg........dang pirates

Well, almost as soon as I wrote this I see she is moving again. We'll see how far she gets tonight. <crosses fingers for an uninterupted voyage from here on out.

Be advised that the regular Miaflores cam (as well as the Centennial cam) seem to be locked up. Try using the Hi Def cam.

Well, she's moving right along. We may see her in one of the webcams soon...

Hopefully the Bridge cam gets fixed soon.

I'm watching the "Africa Graeca" go thru the Miraflores locks right now. The MC looks to be next, but is a ways back.

Very cool! Not to brag but I got about 125 screen captures. I know, I know, what a geek, right?

I have thought about Bella, too! It's such a great name. I feel for y'all on the West Coast. At least y'all get to see picture updates along the way!

PS: I think that it's cute that you are both on here "discussing" things.

It's actually pretty easy. I would have a Word doc open, hit Print screen, then paste it to the Word doc and repeat. It was fun and now I have a gigantic migrane but it was worth it.

It would have been easier if the reg Miraflores cam was working because you can right click on the shot and do a "save as". It's just as well though as these screen caps are Hi Res.

Next I am going to try to save each of the pics as separate jpg's and then flip through those to make it look like a movie.

MC at Miraflores Pics for anyone who wants them!!!

Sure!!! I was thinking about that as I was capturing the shots.

There are a total of 151 pics at about 60KB each so I could either burn a CD or send them in about 10 separate emails (1MB each email). PM me with your info and whether you want a CD or emails and I'll get 'em out sometime this weekend, no charge.

Please keep in mind that the pics are in no way of professional quality. I didn't do any editing at all so parts of my desktop can be seen. Also, you'll notice starting at 015 that I went to "Full Screen" on my browser so from 015 and on they look a little better than the first 14.

What I do is open the first pic (opens with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer) and then just hit the right arrow key as fast as my computer will allow without causing a delay. It works pretty good!
Does anyone know of a way to make these into an actual movie? That would be cool!

It looks like the MC made it out of the canal and will be heading up the coast. Only seven days until she arrives.

BTW, I think I am going to call the Port Hueneme folks and see if I can take one of their tours (I happen to be off work on the 29th).

More info here:

SteelersFan, if you wouldn't mind I'd like the pictures too. I'll PM you my email address.

If RadioFlyer has problems with making a video I can take a crack at it too.
