Congrats! Getting closer. Hey with your paid subscription can you see other ships as well? Can you see the Marguerite Ace's current position?
honestly, i think i got swindled bc I didn't really get anything significant (i think) except to pay for some email updates...I see this on marinetraffic.com...not sure if it's privileged or anyone can see it though...hope it helps.

Thanks! Yes I can see that too on that website. I had been using a couple of other websites that didn't have updates for a few days, so I didn't know exactly where it was. Now I wonder what the hell is it doing out there east of the islands? I thought it would go between Florida and the Bahamas. Oh well, at least it's still on schedule.

not sure, but based on what i can see on the map with other cargo vessel paths, the route appears to go around the east side of cuba and jamaica and on to panama...?

Giving it another look it looks like that route is actually shorter than going through the Gulf of Mexico. For a second there I thought maybe your captain and mine were drinking buddies.
hmmm...this is an interesting route...i'm assuming they will take this path through the "chesapeake/delaware canal?"
Looks like. Makes a lot more sense now. I was wondering how they'll approach Baltimore. Going up the Chesapeake Bay and then back down seemed like a huge detour.
Today's canal is a modern sea-level, electronically controlled commercial waterway, carrying 40 percent of all ship traffic in and out of the Port of Baltimore.
Since 1933 the Corps' Philadelphia District has managed canal and highway bridge operations from a two-story white frame building on the canal's southern bank at Chesapeake City, Maryland. Cargo ships of all sizes, tankers, container-carrying vessels (all up to Seawaymax-classification), barges accompanied by tugboats, and countless recreational boats create a steady flow of traffic. Through state-of-the-art fiber optic and microwave links, dispatchers use closed-circuit television and radio systems to monitor and safely move commercial traffic through the waterway.
Navigating oceangoing vessels requires extensive maritime skills, with strong currents or bad weather conditions adding to the risks. A United States Coast Guard certified pilot is required for vessels engaged in foreign trade transiting the canal, the Delaware River and Bay, and Chesapeake Bay. Many shipping firms use pilots from the Delaware River and Bay or Maryland pilots' associations.
Typically a Delaware River and Bay pilot boards a ship as it passes Lewes, Delaware, entering the Delaware Bay, and guides the vessel up the bay and into the canal to Chesapeake City. A Maryland pilot then takes over and continues the ship's transit into the Chesapeake Bay to Baltimore or Annapolis, Maryland. The procedure is reversed for eastbound ships. At Chesapeake City a "changing of the pilots" takes place, while the pilot launch maneuvers alongside a vessel as it continues its journey without stopping. The pilots use the ship's gangway, pilot ladder, or port entrance to climb aboard or leave the vessel.
