The First Leg
This morning as I was getting ready to leave the house, I got
an automatic email from VesselTracker.com stating that the Palembang had arrived
at the entrance of the Panama Canal.
Its arrival is 24hrs behind the one the ship was broadcasting on its AIS but at least it is there and not streaming to an unexpected location.
The M/V Palembang Waiting to Go Through the Panama Canal
I’m most interested in when the Palembang will arrive in Victoria to discharge its cargo, but until the ship is through the Panama Canal it is pointless to try to plan. There are three stops in Mexico after Panama, and those are each scheduled for one day.
Our plans will not be firm until the Palembang leaves Ensenada for Victoria. There are no stops on that leg, which is planned for 5 days. The departure from Ensenada will be when we buy our airline tickets and make hotel reservations and all other manner of plans.
