Leaving the USA

I learned on Tuesday that the car left New Jersey, bound for the UK and sailing into Thamesport.

I was also informed of the name of the vessel the car is on: Cosco Panama. A quick google yielded a couple of images, and even a youtube video of it's launch some years ago. Here's an image of it anyway (click to enlarge):




Approximate journey time is 14 to 18 days. This means that the car, at the time of writing, will be about 500  miles off the east coast of the USA, in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean.

That's all for now, the next update will come when we go to pick up the car from Thamesport, at which point I will be taking a lot more pictures, and probably some video of the new arrival. In the meantime please pray for good weather, it's not unheard of for containers to fall off the side of these cargo ships in rough seas!

Thanks for reading.

Over and out..........
