      • Morning Camilla has FINALLY appeared again (after being off the tracking sites for 10 days) !

        It's just rounded CAPE TOWN on the very bottom of South Africa and is about 1,000km from East London ! I think that puts it at about 25 - 30 hours away from arrival there !


        (By the way, if anyone is wondering why ships stop at East London, it's the closest port to BMW and Nissan manufacturing plants at Rosslyn in Pretoria)

        • Yep - so it'll be there on the 30th, has been in the original voyage schedule from the start.

          We'll probably be able to track her for the next 3 days, at which time she'll disappear for another 10 days on the trip across the Indian Ocean to Perth.

              • I have joined the desperadoes - reading shipping logs now!!!!!!
                I used to read car reviews
                Wouldn't it be cool if there was a screen you could load as a home page which highlighted our ships as dots on the globe we could stare at and get realtime upgrades?
                I think I need another scotch

                    On Faust I'm told - so not too far.
                    I think the wait will be worse when I know it's in Melb.
                    Then will have to wait to get 3M FPP done and seal?

                    • So the Morning Camilla has been in and out of East London and is now only a few hours from Durban. I'm not sure what is going on with the Marine Traffic site, but I believe they're having issues with AIS updates... or at least updates from the Morning Camilla (though looking in the port of Durban, there is only a single vessel, so I think that maybe the site is having issues).

                      In any case, she appears to be on schedule from the original W&W voyage details. After porting in Durban today, she'll leave and head across the Indian Ocean bound for Fremantle.

                      • Well now she's left Durban and is heading across the Indian Ocean to Fremantle, the first stop in Australia. I'm not sure there are any small islands with AIS towers that the Morning Camilla will pass along her way, so she may be off the radar again for the next 11 days until she ports in Perth. Oh man!

                              Based on the dodgy AIS tracking over the last few days it looks like she hit the 50km boundary on tracking out of Durban, so I think it's a sure bet we will see diddly squat until the boys in Perth start telling us that they've "wet their pants"in about 11 days time !

                              Also, being in Adelaide, how do you guys think I'm going to feel knowing that the ship is going to cruise straight past Adelaide without stopping when it goes from Perth to Melbourne ! and then have to wait for my car to be sent backwards to me !

                              • They should have a helicopter plucking the cars from the ship, then delivering directly to the dealerships! Hahaha.......I know....in my dreams
