I hope you are right for your sake...being help up at the VPC would probably be the most painful part since it's so close to the end.

Please note...for those keeping score at home...The Asian Chorus is currently running a day AHEAD of schedule and left Bremerhaven a day early....

The extra stop in Canada is a brutal addition to the trip...

[milehigh5000]

that car treated me well.. had it right when i turned 17 till a month or two ago..had the 19's on them since i was 19 and near the end they ended up all being bent (roads are hell here)..they made the car look so much nicer though..i also had full tint 20% all around but didnt take any pictures..also, an ebay intake and an exhaust installed at rayco made this car sound beastly..no joke lol

our vessel is moving at about 18.29 mph..is that normal speed for traveling across the ocean? lol

[msimon18]

I subscribed to http://www.aislive.com/ and although it does not plot the v essel on the map it actually gives textual information on location and speed. I am guessing it is 2 hours or so current as that is what they specify in their user manual for trial subscriptions. I'll check again and re-post in a few minutes.

I am guessing that that speed is pretty reasonable as large cruise ships (110 tons or greater travel at 18 - 22 knots.

[msimon18]

Info from AIS live site as of 7:57 EDT. I assume it is correct and no more than 2 hours old.

yeah i tried subscribing to it but they havent answered me yet..but regarding the speed, i guess youre right..i wish they could move faster but oh well..the patriot is still the fastest in the fleet :rocks:

[msimon18]

It took them about a week to get back to me with subscription information so be patient.

If Patriot travels at 15 knots or ~18 miles per hour continuously it will go ~432 miles per day. By the 26th it will cover ~3400 MORE miles. Looks like that is about right for its current course.

[milehigh5000]

i typed in the long/lat of what msimon said was the most current position of our ship and this is what i came up with..as you can see, i marked where our ship is and where southampton is on the picture bright green

[cwn23]

Got a call from my CA and was told the VPC in Jersey is a backed up BIG time...My car got discharged from the Integrity May 16.....CA told me delivery will be the May 28-30...That 2 weeks from now!!! That really sucks!
Just wanted to let you guys know what to expect when you guys get discharged from the ship

[milehigh5000]

thats in jersey though..what about the new york port?

[cwn23]

NY/NJ is the same thing but the auto vessels dock in Bayonne N.J
The VPC is in Jersey City and its very close to the Northeast Auto Terminal in Bayonne.
