16.8 knots was the florida highway. The Sincerity Ace left Emden a full 24 hours after the FH and it was 30 miles behind it by the end, so it was much faster, around 18 knots.

I got totally "hooked" on that show! ...and I have a thing about even touching uncooked fish!
...and I remember those pesky young upstarts!

BTW, I think the Clover Ace has blown a gasket and is just doing figure 8's! Has decided to let the weather improve before continuing... at least its not throwing its precious cargo around!....unlike some others

I know... maybe the captain thinks he's flying a plane and is in some sort of holding pattern! It's nuts! Oh, I just figured it out, he's following the track of a "clover"!!!
I was hoping that Lodi's car would have been with mine, it isn't. At this rate I think his will get on a boat and be alongside or even go past the Clover Ace pronto and get here first!
