She should go through the canal tomorrow, as scheduled. It takes approx 6 days for these ships to sail to SoCal. She's scheduled to arrive at the port of San Diego on 2/27 and port Hueneme on 2/29. She very well could be stopping at the port of Long Beach/LA in between on 2/28. So, that means SD on 27, LA on 28, and PH on 29. You have to pay to see LA's schedule, so we don't know if she really is slated to stop there. That port is a black hole. I would guess that that will be her schedule for those ports, though. I have seen the same ship stop at all three ports. We will have to wait and see. |

Sirius will probably start her Canal passage early tomorrow morning. I normally get up at 6 a.m. (MST), so I will check on her then. The past two days, the ships I have tracked have started their passages at that time. I don't know if Sirius will start that early, too. If she does, I will post photos for those who will not be able to watch her live.
I just checked on the AIS radar and she's waiting patiently in the outer bay tonight. Here's the web site for the PanCanal cameras. She will start at the Gatun Locks camera in the morning. http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/camera-java.html |

She is passed the first set of locks and camera view now. If she keeps sailing along without stopping, she will reach the next camera at Centennial Bridge just after lunchtime. So, stay tuned to that camera.

If she keeps on coarse, she should reach the Centennial Bridge camera about 12:30 California time. And, the Mira Flores Locks and camera are right around the corner from the Centennial Bridge, so don't go far. I may or may not be home to catch it. If someone does catch it live, post some pictures.

Here's a new AIS radar page. These AIS radar screens can be delayed up to one hour, so she's further along than what this shows. But, she's making progress. I would still guess that she will reach the Centennial Bridge camera about 12:30 pacific time, give or take a half hour.

Here's Sirius Leader at the Centennial Bridge. http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/camera-java.html
The Miraflores locks are just around the corner, so once she disappears from this camera, switch to the Miraflores camera. |

If they do pan back for us while she's in the lock, take a look at the Hi-Res camera. You can almost see in the windows of the ship's bridge. It is very cool! |

This view we are seeing here is actually far away from the camera. The camera is zoomed into this first step down. You will see in a minute when they pan back. Once she hits the lock, I have asked they pan back further to see her full view in the lock.

OK. Here's a good view. They panned all the way back for us. You will get a really close up view when she goes into this next step down lock. She will hold that position for a long time. It is also good that they are putting her in the lock closest to the camera.
When she pulls in, switch to the hi-res camera and look in the windows of the bridge. |
