Yes, in the last 2 days it has been to two ports listed as New York ( both in Jersey City), discharged cars, and then sailed towards Brunswick. The last time I tracked it, it was South of the Delaware Estuary doing 16 Kn. hope this helps. BTW some times it helps to try the Call Sign in the Ship Name Box. It's 9V9244. See I did that from memory...LOL. I need help.
Honor is enroute to Baltimore with no scheduled stops in NJ...Honor is off Cape Cod but still too far off shore for marinetraffic.com to pick up her AIS transmitter. Until she gets closer we're stuck relying on her weather observations that she seems to send every 12 hours or so and are posted at sailwx.info. I would guess we have at least another day before she's close enough to shore to get regular reports from her AIS...

Well, the Gentle Leader is getting ready to dock in San Diego. I sure wish they offloaded the cars headed to Irvine n San Diego. Sucks that it will dock and then headed back out to seas, passing Irvine, on it's way to Port Hueneme.

Pedantic *and* nerdy
Tombarra is now through the locks and in the Pacific!...took a little longer than I thought! My MA just emailed that I should be taking delivery on the 7th or 8th.
I took a bunch of screenshots (90 of them) and made a video out of it, for those who are as nerdy as me

This post, on the other hand, is for people who are as pedantic as me.
-Seabeast, who was outside doing shed-work all day and is really glad you made the video.

I was driving over the Ravenel bridge today and nearly drove off the side when I saw the Athens Highway about to dock in Charleston! I wandered around to the terminal and the nice security guard there said that the Minis did come on that boat and they would start unloading around 7 pm. Sadly, I had to work but the Athens Highway is again underway so my baby must be here!

To help the time pass more quickly here is some Mini videos I found a playlist of 56 mini videos but for some stupid reason it didn't post the link like it should so I'm posting the next best thing.
The ultimate test drive of a Mini:
O'well I will look for that playlist again later.

Did you expect anything more? Maybe they are just preparing it for you although a photo to say it was in would have been nice like many of the other MAs do for their customers.
