Who's on Independence II with me?

Zooks527 · 05-04-2015, 12:14 PM

A shot of it rounding McNab's island on the way to the dock (center background), and a couple of bonus shots of a submarine cruising through the harbor a few hours later. The sub showed up in the live view while I was grabbing the other shot from the camera history.

The tide must have started to come in during the interim period, as the freighter at anchor in the center of the shot shifted to stern-on to the camera.

So, I wonder what's quicker - train to western Canada, or 2 days by boat to Bayonne and a truck to Massachusetts.

No, regular web access.

Independence 2 is reporting satellite position via sailwx.info every 12 hours or so, but not all carriers and ships do so. Galveston Highway and Tulane are two that do not appear to do it.

Heard it could take up to a week to get on a train and another week to make its way across. Then a truck to the dealership. So it could be another 3 weeks for me

I'm also blind at this point. No way to track rail unless you know someone with CN Rail access.

And she's out of Halifax harbor and on her way to beautiful Bayonne, NJ.

Hey, the Tulane could pop up, I could get stuck in Customs, Rt. 95 could have a traffic jam.

Still lots of course in front!

Zooks527 · 05-05-2015, 07:27 AM

Looks like NJ tomorrow.

Zooks527 · 05-06-2015, 04:53 AM

About a mile out from the dock, Upper Bay, NY Harbor.

German1967 · 05-06-2015, 01:42 PM

Tulane has reappeared... Approaching the U.S. Coast.

And I've got it!

Well, I had it, taking delivery while waiting for the registry paperwork to go through. It finally did but now it's off getting an inspection sticker.

Zooks527 · 05-14-2015, 08:07 PM

And it's home! I'll take better shots this weekend with something other than my small P&S.

Zooks527 · 05-15-2015, 07:05 AM

starman_dx · 05-28-2015, 11:27 PM
