blue1-can you confirm her location in the PanCanal. She should be around Gatun Locks/Lake.

Blue1 will have to let us know where she is in the next few hours. If she goes straight through she will reach the Centennial Bridge camera around noontime and then the Mira Flores Locks are just around the corner from the Bridge. She will finish going through all 51 miles of the canal late in the afternoon. Sometimes they stop on Gatun Lake for hours, though, so Blue1 will have to let us know what she is doing.

No. It won't be until late this afternoon before she gets there. She in Gatun Lake at the moment heading for Miraflores Locks.

I need this ship to arrive...3 E90s and 4 E92s to deliver to waiting customers.

No wonder I don't get calls and emails anymore from some of you asking where is my car. You guys are tracking it yourselves. Excellent work.

Here's a timelapse video of the PB going through Gatun Lock. You can see it at around 0:37 or thereabouts. I've been trying to edit it down in length but couldn't as my only editing software, Quicktime Pro, has been crashing:
