Calling Mike now with this news!!! Thanks sooooo much, Simpson.

Mike's out of town on business at the moment, and he's going crazy not being able to hit "refresh" and monitor all of this himself. :impatient

 

You're very welcome. Here is another screen capture.

 

 

I keep calling Mike with updates.

I think I heard him squeal like a little girl on the last call.

 

 

She is on the South West Approaches map now.

 

Calling Mike again!

 

Yes, that is funny but I can completely understand

 

 

You all are torturing the poor man????

 

Aye, I must get some pleasure out of this adventure somehow, no?

 

 

Lemme guess. You took out a large life insurance policy on Mike recently?

 

Don't be ridiculous!

I took one out on our MA at Brecht MINI - 'cuz if that R56 doesn't arrive as expected, when expected, for as much as expected...well....

 

Shoulda hedged yer bets and doubled-up.

 

She is actually viewable on two maps now, the South West Approaches and the Channel Island Overview. Here is an image from the Channel Island overview.

 

 

Update delivered to MINI-Mad-Mike.

He's about 2 hours outside of Pheonix on his way home. He's very happy that the Carmen is making good progress!

Simpson, we may be headed up to Oregon once the new baby arrives, just to buy you a beer!!

 

It would be a pleasure to meet both of you in person . It would take care of the break-in miles .

Here is another updated screen capture.

 

 

These are both taken at roughly the same time, but they are from different maps so you have a slightly different perspective.

 

...I think the Carmen is slowing down! But I'm not going to tell Mike that on my next call to him!

Apparently, he's about 2 hours from home, in the desert, with temps up in the 110s. The last thing I need to do is set him off in an episode of road rage.

I wonder if the Captain of the Carmen has a GPS cell phone, and if the number is listed?!

 

Speaking of things that make you go "hrmmmm....." I wonder if Doug and DeeDee at MINIUSA are going through Mike-withdrawals?

 

They just could be....or they may be thinking their prayers have been answered At least when the Carmen goes off from the AIS system it should be trackable with www.sailwx.info . The current position will be updated every six hours.

 

Is the Carmen's call sign S6IW?
