hate to be the one to point out the negative but looks like there is a small tropical storm... but it has a GREAT NAME lol Andrea.. that would be ... ME LOL

Wonder how often it updates. Doesn't look like it's up to date, I'd think the ship would be about twice that distance by now, assuming that's the Bahamas in the map.

Looks like it gets the ships location about 2 times a day. You can change the number of hours it tracks & see all the red dots of where it has been over that time span.

Looks like the Magic arrived at Gorda Cay/Castaway Cay bright and early at 6 a.m. By now the Magic must be underway again on its long voyage to the Canary Islands. Hope they enjoyed setting foot on land today, since it will be their last time for the next six days! I would imagine there will be another update in the next 12 hours.

I had the Wonder's call sign before. Does anyone know it? I can't find it on any of the lists, either...

 

[Mozart]

Nevermind. I found it. C6QM8.

 

[plutospup]

The Wonder does not report to SailWx. Don't know why, but doesn't.

Meanwhile...the Magic has moved on! Please note they are using UTC/Zulu time (Greenwich Mean Time).

Very cool! You can combine it with this, which shows the currect wave model for the Atlantic, to see how they're doing: Atlantic Wave Model

That's really neat!

 

[Skallywag]

Thank you for the link will enjoy keeping up to date with progress

 

[plutospup]

Thanks for the info Mark. Cool info! Is there a link to updated information? The Wave Direction map is from 11/01/06. When I try to update it I get a message that I'm not authorized.

 

[MarkRG]

HUH. I didn't even notice that! Hang on a sec, I'll see if I can dig out a new one.

 

[MarkRG]

Ok, they moved it.. here's the current link:

NOAA Wave Models

Use the middle pulldown to select North Atlantic, then click 'GO'

 

[IrishCowboy]

Very Cool!

Thanks for the great link!

 

[plutospup]

Thanks Mark! It looks like calm Atlantic seas for the Magic.

wow, they are not playing any games, huh? Straight out into the Atlantic. I don't know why, but for some reason I thought that they would go north, staying somewhat close to the US and then cutting over!
