OK, anyone know why all I call find on aislive.com is info on boats in european waters??? I thought once the boats got close to the US, aislive was what we were supposed to use to track them!?!? I am SO frustrated right now!

Please help! :impatient

 

Yes, the aisfree.aislive.com site defaults to the European maps. Here is a link to the Panama Overview map. There is also a South West US map but I'll need to find the link for you.

 

Here is the link to the free West Coast map.

 

NICE!!! You are the man sir, thanks a bunch!

 

Some of the map sections on the South West Overview aren't clickable to select them. But with a little trial and error, here is the link to the LA overview map.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out some of the individual section names in order to be able to zoom in closer.

 

Here are some more AISFree links and a link to the Panama Canal Web Cams:

Now, if only I can find the Port Hueneme map on the free site.

 

Any chance you've seen the Tristan anywhere in all that mess? I can't find her to save my life! She's scheduled to start making her way through the canal tomorrow, so I figured she'd be close, but no luck so far.

 

I'm afraid not, my trial subscription to AIS was just cut off, IMO it was shut off early so I've emailed them asking what's up. It was supposed to be through the 23rd, apparently they cut it off at the start of the 23rd their time. Darn it, I'm PO'd.

 

The last info I remember seeing for the Tristan was that it had an ETA for 10:00 UTC on the 24th for reaching Manzanillo. It should show up on the free overview map in approximately 24 hours give or take a little bit.

 

hehe, after the Tristan makes it through the canal you'll want to check out this post, I came across another AIS site that has much better coverage and info than the aisfree system. They also cover some areas on the East Coast.

 

Awesome man, thanks again. Unfortuneatly I still cannot find the Tristan anywhere! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!


I hope she didn't sink!

 

She isn't on AISLive yet (they reinstated my trial subscription )

 

The canal webcams are a must! I captured this shot of the Auto Banner (ship with red hull) transiting the lock last year. Gromit is on board! I found her sailing schedule and a few photos, watched AIS for her appearance at the canal (ships might have to wait a couple of days for their turn at the locks), tracked her through the canal, watched her on the webcam and captured the image.

 

OK, the WW site is showing the Tristan has already sailed through Manzinillo Panama (cuz it's in RED), but I still can't find it on AIS. Does that sound right?

 

No, it doesn't the AISLive subscription site has it listed with an estimated ETA of 6:00 UTC tomorrow at Manzanillo. I'll post a screen capture in the Tristan thread for you in a moment.
