Moving in the Right Direction

Yesterday was frustrating since the Da Qiang was not in range of a land based AIS receiver so we could not determine its position. Today the boat finally showed up anchored in the Pacific holding anchorage at the entrance to the Panama Canal.

Late in the afternoon today, I checked again and while the position did not change, the listed destination had change from Panama to Puerto Cortes, Honduras. This fits with what we had been told was the itinerary of the vessel. According to the listing on MarineTraffic.com the DaQiang is planning to arrive in Honduras on 12.29 at 22:00 UTC.

Last we heard, to would spend two days in Puerto Cortes taking on its load and then head for Florida. My only worry now is that because it is so behind schedule, it blows of coming to Port Everglades to make up some time. We had this last month with PAC Athena.

Now we have to see if we get any updates today or tomorrow, at the latest, from YachtPath.

Oh yeah, Merry Christmas.
