As promised a time-lapse of the PB going through the Centennial Bridge (around 0:12 marker):

[blue1]

She's in Miraflores locks

[Nice1]

that's pretty cool, i haven't seen that angle before. i'm grabbing both hi-res and lo-res cameras in case they keep it at different angles.

That WWLines looks like her! The one I confused her with this morning is just behind her and also has those steps down the front of the ship. Sometimes these ships changed owners and get repainted, so I though that other one was her first thing this morning. But, this WWLines looks like it is the correct one.

[spn]

Don't forget about the high resolution camera, too. It is also at Mira Flores and gives you a really good view of the ship when she gets into the locks!

They usually do change the angles, so once these ships get through the Pedro Miguel locks (where they are at now) and gets closer to Mira Flores locks, they will pan the camera back.

Hopefully, they will pan back the camera. When I watched Hojin go through a couple weeks ago, they didn't pan back and we had to rely on the Hi Res camera to see her in Mira Flores. It was the first time I have seen them forget to pan the camera back, out of about 20 ships I have tracked through the Canal.

thats cool we are on the same boat.

My car came in on Hojin 12 days ago, so I already have my car here in Utah. I have a friend who has a car on Pac Breeze, though, so I am tracking it for a friend.

These two ships are almost identical. They both have those stairs in the front. They must have been built from the same plans/builder. It is good they are putting Pac Breeze in the lock closest to the camera. We will get a better view.

[Nice1]

you can barely make out her name on the port-side stern if you blow up the hi res pic.
edit: a clearer shot:

[coco_m3]

you can clearly see Pacific Breeze on the ship in yellow letters.
is it in the Pacific Ocean now?

[spn]

It will take several hours for her to get into the Pacific and for her to be on her way north. Blue1 could maybe update us from AIS radar.

Early this morning, when she was in the Atlantic Anchorage, several Panama Canal pilots would have boarded her to take her through the Panama Canal. These super vessels are so huge, they take up every inch of lock space. One pilot stays on the bridge to steer her through, while one or two more pilots watch over the edges of the ship as they pass through the locks. They don't want either the ship or locks damaged. So, she will now stop in the Pacific Anchorage and drop off the pilots who boarded Pac Breeze this morning.

Latest Position

[Nice1]

here are replays for those who missed PB's passage through the Miraflores Lock.

[blue1]

Won't be long before she is in the next black hole for the radar. Will be around a week before she re-appears.

[coco_m3]

so shes in the Pacific?
