Thanks Bruce that's what we were looking for we spent many hours on google trying to find a site but no luck 🙁 So many thanks 😀 😀 Coral Bay just left Tacoma 🙂

I'm hoping I can catch her as she passes Bainbridge Island. The site said she was underway a bit ago, but it has reverted to "moored" and her position hasn't changed. Still over 2 hours of daylight here, so if she does leave Tacoma soon I'll see her. Got my binocs out.

I remember watching the progress of our current car, all the way from Germany to LA, by tracking the ship on Live AIS.

Cheers,

Bruce

I just checked using Bruce's link and as of 7:48:00 PM here in Seattle it has indeed left its moorage in Tacoma... so it's on its way now.

As of 0900 PDT she appears to be at anchor in Commencement Bay. Looks like she swung out there over night. Destination in now Vancouver ETA 02:00 UTC (1900 PDT). May still spot her today.

Cheers

She was still there this morning. Early afternoon I saw she had updated he ETA and was just west of Des Moines (and Kent and the factory). I got caught down on the waterfront with just my iPhone. These freighters always go faster than you think.

But here she is. Tough to make her out (arrow) but I thought you'd enjoy seeing her underway. She's getting a nice Puget Sound ebb tide push up the shipping lane off the coast of Bainbridge Island. She's headed for Vancouver. If "Amalia Grace" isn't onboard now, she soon will be.

Cheers,

Bruce

Thanks all,
We have used Bruce's recommended site and tracking "Blu Tug" as she gets carried around 😀 also have subscribed to the website and get e-mails with all movements of the ship 🙂
Just can't zoom close enough to see the containers on the ship 🙁
But love being able to keep track you have to love all this new technology 😎

It would be very cool if Google Maps were in real-time... but then that brings up other issues. :roll:

Peter and Ronnie - I took a big zoom lens with me yesterday, knowing that I'd be in a good vantage point for the Coral Bay heading under Vancouver's Lions Gate Bridge at 1900hrs local time. Nothing doing. Once home, I checked its tracking and saw that it was running quite late and had gone up the Fraser River to the New Westminster/Surrey docks and wasn't actually seeing Vancouver at all. I just can't get out today to where it might be possible to see that ship - sorry. We'll call it a virtual pat-on-the-hull from the second country on your boat's long, long itinerary.

It's not a photo I'm proud of, and I can't see your tug at all, but here's the Coral Bay loading mixed cargo in the Fraser River.

With the Fraser in full freshet and a dropping tide, was the river ever moving quickly.
