There is a lot of freeboard with those car carriers. Your car might end up in Greenland somewhere.

They tie them all down when loading. Of course there is only about 12" of clearance between the cars, so worry away.

It was a 24-hour futurecast snapshot of Chris from marinetraffic.com. Here's hoping they're wrong.

I think you’re totally correct. I’ll post a screen shot (taken minutes ago) of the weather app. Which appears to be trash. Strange, since it’s pretty mainstream.

Either way. Hope the crew and cars are safe
