Do they let you on the property? I'm under 30 minutes away. Less, by boat, but I took it out for the Winter.

Doesn't hurt to try.

Take pics of the GT3's if you're able to get close...or borrow a big telephoto lens. We want to see our cars!!!

Mermaid ETA shows 20 hours to docking in Davisville. So that should put us at tomorrow night rather than Sunday night.

Latest Sat image...

If you get pics, mine is the white one.

Do they off load day? Night? Weekends? I might take ride over. Seems like Sunday AM is a good probability? I guess first watch Davisville web site to see if she docks or anchors.

As of 09:00 this morning the new ETA is 03:00 Sunday. I don't know if they unload on weekends. I assume it's a M-F operation except for the vessel docking. NORAD runs the PDI, so you could probably call them to find out if no one else knows. http://www.noradinc.com

Check what time zone the arrival is based upon. It may arrive today.

ETA is 16 hours from now 12:00 EST. So that puts us at 03:00 EST Sunday.

See Sat update...

They just changed the ETA to 3AM Monday. Not sure why, but it looks like it won't dock today.

The Mermaid seems to have been at the same spot for 24 hours yet it show a west heading at 15.2 knots. Maybe something is wrong with their AIS tracking.

Riding through Davisville,, Porsches by the dozens! Like a cornfield of P cars! No ships at the docks.

Things are looking better now. The ship is much closer than earlier so I think the 03:00 EST ETA will stick for Monday morning. Maybe it will be in Terrestrial range tonight. Here's the latest Sat AIS...
