AND, DOWN THE STRETCH SHE COMES!
(Borrowing a phrase from a famous race horse announcer)
I think the stop was made for a pilot. Let's hope the pilot doesn't decide to go to the other end and take her back to Germany! ;D

I just hope she will dock in the Puerto Interior, because if she doesn't, this webcam I'm monitoring won't catch sight of her.

Thanks for posting the video link denelson. Unfortunately, all I can see is a red x where the photo should be.

Thanks for posting the video link denelson. Unfortunately, all I can see is a red x where the photo should be. That's because the site where I put the video doesn't take kindly to hotlinking. The red X should have been that same video.

That capture of yours is good, despite that the sun is also shining on that cam as well.
Her arrival came moments before two of my favourite TV shows were to be shown on KBTC (Tacoma WA). These are "Tracks Ahead" and "The Last Of The Summer Wine". The latter shows proof that elders can outdo everyone in such well written British situation comedy. Poor Howard. He always gets it from his wife when he dates a gorgeous blonde lady!
Back to this subject in hand, I think we can now say all is well with the MV COASTAL RENAISSANCE. She made it safely to the Canaries.

I would guess it is all the "Bulk" German beer Markus is sending over

Intresting Way of Advertizing. We Can Say the First Coastal Class has hit BC, The Coastal Half-A-Bandwagon.

But departure times are notorious for not being accurate. And the rest of us West Coasters can definitely vouch for that.

That was a quick pit stop considering the length of the next stage. I guess top up the tanks, wash the windshield and check the tire pressure.

I wonder how much fuel she burned on that leg of the trip. I know the theoretical consumption is 57.8 tonnes/day, but I wonder how much she actually burned.

There are two more opportunities with the next two of the Flensburger Trio. Safe journey to the MV COASTAL RENAISSANCE and her crew. We'll see you in Panama via the webcams!
