Yep, been watching. I think having the ship arrive on a Monday gives us all a good shot at getting our cars that same week. Clear customs, get batteries installed, truck to your dealer.

You guys aren't even trying unless you make a time lapse of it going through the panama canal:

Lol. I'm already taking hell from my wife for checking the sailwx site twice a day. She just doesn't get it though. I'll get a gopro vid of her first launch control and hot lap experience to capture the moment she "gets it", haha.

almost to the canal boys, this position update is from a little over 5 hours ago so should be back on radar before long too, will try to catch her on the way thru today...

Yeah I checked out the webcams I could find for the Panama Canal and it seemed like it would be a painful wait. I'll probably check in about 4 or 5 hours and hope to get lucky. You can see the line of ships in the distance waiting to get through. It's close now though...

F82speed · 11-29-2014, 03:09 PM

back on radar... wife seems adamant that it's time to stop ship tracking and start Christmas light hanging, faster way to kill the wait til the canal I guess, lol

We did some decorating today, too. Managed to squeeze in a few status checks but didn't catch the Undine in the canal. That stands to reason since Marinetraffic.com says it's moored in Manzanillo as of 4 minutes ago, which is a scheduled stop. Next stop, Port Hueneme.

Yep I saw that yesterday afternoon too. It was scheduled, like you said, and makes sense I guess, assume they need fuel after crossing the Atlantic.

So I post the above and THEN go look at Marine Traffic and see she's just entered the canal, passing thru Gatun. Hurry to bring up the cams and see nothing at Gatun on either cam...but wait a few minutes and realize she was in between the 2 cameras because it only took a minute and I caught her coming out the other side, totally random timing that I sat down and looked when I did this morn, pics to follow...

Undine exiting Gatun locks 9:05am MST 11-30-14

Nice work. I've been checking marinetraffic off and on all morning and it showed it still in the first lock, not the last. Had the cams up and everything. Good catch.

Yea, thanks man. I actually managed to get 4 pics from the cam, so trying to create a little animation now, but I don't do much with this kind of stuff so we'll see, lol....

You can probably catch it again on this webcam. Your pics will do for me though. On travel this week so I have to pack. http://www.pancanal.com/common/multi...flores-hi.html

So Cool F82speed. Thanks for catching that.. I've been watching as well. Looks like we will be out on the Pacific side by tonight @ 8:30pm. I don't know if that is UTC or Panama time which is only 3 hours ahead not 8 hours ahead?

I see the 8:30 UTC ETA on Marine Traffic, but I don't think that's right since the port listed, Cristobal, is on the Atlantic side? Either way, it's quickly closing in on Miraflores Locks at the other end, should be on that cam before long...
