She's transiting the Miraflores locks as I type this. I can watch it on the Canal webcam.

I'm pretty sure that's her. If I misread the direction of the webcam, I might be wrong. Waiting for the stern to go by.

Ok, I blew it, it's not her. That camera shot must be pointing north. I know for sure she's in transit though.

That IS northbound. I've been keeping up on it. It was southbound earlier this morning. Hope you can read her hull!

AIS is still showing Madame Butterfly in the Gatun locks. AIS says that they're usually about two hours behind though.

Now, looking at the cam for the Gatun locks, there is another car carrier just entering. I can't make out any names or logo on the ship. Gray hull and white superstructure. Oh, there seems to be a "K" on the funnel.

She's cleared the Canal, and the next stop will be Port Hueneme. Your Mini's are on the ocean home stretch.
