USS Green Bay - departed 3/2
In an unexpected turn of events - I found out today that after missing my ride on the Tortugas, I set sail on 3/2 on the Green Bay!!!! Sooner is generally better but being a red blooded American - can't say I'm unhappy to be on a ship that's waving the good old Red, White, and Blue!!!!

She's a majestic hulking hunk 'o' steel. And travels 1 knot on average slower than the venerable Tortugas. Just sayin'.
To get the map position, on Marinetraffic.com click on "Itineraries History" --> go to the last known position entry and click "show on map" |

Last post on my own thread - I'm gonna have to say she's cleaner and prettier than the Torturtle and the Asian Fling - what do you guys think?

Plus the title of this article isn't a good indicator either: http://phoenixfever.com/wisconsin-gr...loss-milwaukee

Anyways, here are some sites for you to help tracking it: - http://www.fleetmon.com/vessels/Green_Bay_30526 - http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/ - http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...l?call=WDD9433 Funny thing is, the Tortugas doesn't report on the 'sailwx.info' while your ship seems to do... hmm... Something like this comes to mind: http://shipwreck.net/tortugas.php (on a more serious note, I think it kinda sucks we can't use that one since I wanted to do a full track of the shipping, and make some kind of a booklet with images and stuff lol)

Well, look at it this way....if the Green Bay does sink, perhaps you can at least persuade Gordon Lightfoot to sing a song about it?

To get to the Pacific Ocean the ship needs to go across the Panama Canal. Once through the canal, the ship will sail north to California.

Too bad it's now 8:30pm local time and it's still not registered as in port! Tracking shows it at the shore since noon-ish so I'm still hoping they started the unload today.
