I watched it cross under the bridge last night but it was dark so you could see lights pass by.

Pretty awesome!
Wow that's a find!

For some reason that stupid tug boat did leave lol

My hopes aren't high that this is our tug boat since yesterday the same thing happened. I'm not sure if this ship is tug boat magnet or maybe the drivers of the tug boats are really in love with my car and coming aboard to take a look

You can look but no touching

I have my fingers crossed! Two tug boats and the pilot vessel are there. That looks promising! It's very sad that I feel like I have an in depth understanding of all of the tug boats and pilot vessel and how they work together in a harbor hundreds of miles away that I have never actually been to.

Just some info while I finish my lunch break.


If you notice the Draught of the ship after leaving Germany was 9.4 meters and now its 9.1 meters. This is how far the ships sticks under the water level.

Rigel leader is 200mx33m. She has now risen .3m above the water since she off loaded cars. She lost about 1980 meters cubed of volume which translates to following weight when using the buoyancy equation.

Estimated pounds offloaded: 4,488,696 pounds
Assuming avg car weight 2 tons: 1150 cars were unloaded.

Pretty useless information but I thought I'd post it.

The Rigel is back in range and comparing it to the ship "Faust", which docked in brunswick today at 4:00 pm (et), it is about 4 to 5 hours ahead of the position Faust was yesterday. So, I would expect our ship to probably arrive at brunswick before noon
