VesselFinder is predicting the arrival of Jiuyang Blossom to the center on Panama at April 11, 1952 UTC. This location is PAST the Atlantic locks. I don't have a good feeling on when JB will enter the Atlantic locks. I did some quick math and I am predicting JB will enter the Atlantic locks after 7:40 PDT. Game On!

I'm surprised the lack of activity through Panama. Not a single boat/ship is going through Gatun at the moment. I know they were limiting traffic due to water levels a while back. I assume it's still an issue.

I am revising my estimated time to the Atlantic Panama Canal Gatun lock, If Jiuyang Blossom is not put in a holding pattern prior to entering the lock system it should reach the eastern most lock (Gatun) sometime after 11:30 PDT. Let hope for a quick transit through the canal!

I know a couple of our colleagues are anxiously waiting on Poseidon Leader and I just saw on Vessel Finder that it'll be docking in Emden shortly (if it's not docked already). I hope they get that lucky e-mail notification from Porsche by late tomorrow or Saturday!

So I guess they are in a holding pattern... Anyone know for how long?

Gloves Companion docked in SD on the 6th (email update came in that the car is being prepared for delivery) but still nada. Hopefully by this weekend we can go in to grab the car.

Very confused. you mentioned 11:30 PDT so I assume that is AM this morning and not PM this evening... Plus the mobile app shows the same, but it's always in 24 hour clock in the mobile app, so it was also showing 11:30am this morning and not 23:30 this evening... Which is long gone!!! 😉

From the post @Marin Vizsla generated in April:
Jiuyang Blossom is ahead of the above schedule by a day. IF (BIG IF) that schedule is still accurate, I think we may see movement tomorrow.
I am fairly confident the transit through the Panama Canal is scheduled, I think that is why Jiuyang Blossom is parked off the coast waiting for it's timeslot.

Jiuyang Blossom is still parked in the Panama Canal Atlantic waiting area. From what I can tell most of the ships waiting have been there around a day. Let hope we see movement today into the locks.
