Salish Raven: Delivery Voyage and Arrival Pool

[Low Light Mike]

The Raven has departed Gdansk.

Here's the thread for you to track her voyage, and to guess her arrival date.

After she arrives at a landing in BC, we'll move over to a new "Salish Raven" forever thread.

[mybidness459]

Right on!

I will put my ETA for the vessel in BC on June 18

[tak22]

If you're interested, I'm tracking the Salish Raven on my website here: patbaywebcam.com/raven.php


New for this tracking: Voyage KM distance, Speed Knots last/max/avg, wind and weather forecast for current position.

And for your amusement scroll back to Gdansk and take a look at the wild and crazy tracks for the sea trials .... 


I'll be back with my arrival guess .....

Some videos of the Salish Raven departing Gdansk a few days ago:

Note: both a somewhat similar footage, but they both have different perspectives. The first one in the first link was the better one to watch IMHO

The Raven arrived in Tenerife last night...

Short stop, she's on her way again. (Decal free apparently too)

The question is the wake. Spent many years (30) riding the wake of the old to current ferries in active pass.         Any one know about the wake of the new ferries?

[Kahn_C]

Due to being right on the water when the Orca passed me yesterday I can actually answer that... The Orca seems to throw less wake than the Burnaby usually does; I don't think she was at full speed (and she was empty) when she went past but she wasn't going slow. I'm not sure exactly how much less, but it was a noticeable difference.

As of Wednesday, 17 May 2017, the SALISH RAVEN has punched her way through the outer islands and has entered the Caribbean.  It won't be too long from now until she arrives in Panama.

This entrance comes a day before the 37th anniversary of the destructive eruption of Mount Saint Helens, a day many of us living then would remember.

The RAVEN is sailing with a temporary foreign flag.  This brings up an interesting question.  Would the "Spirit"-Class ferries be sailing under a foreign flag on their trips to and from Poland?  We'll find out this fall.

[FNS]

The SALISH RAVEN has arrived at Panama.  The waiting begins ...

[FNS]

The wait was short.  The SALISH RAVEN is locking herself into the Canal at Gatun.

At this moment, the Gatun High Resolution Cam is facing inbound while the Standard is facing the Canal.  Refresh if needed.

Princess Cruises has the Pacific Princess transiting the Canal in the opposite direction. Most likely the Bridge Cam from the Pacific Princess will pick up the Salish Raven when they pass each others. Go to www.princesscruises.com then select "Bridge Cams" & the select "Pacific Princess".

[FNS]

Got a good capture of the SALISH RAVEN from the PACIFIC PRINCESS (II?).

I won't be displaying any Canal images (unless requested now) until after midnight tonight to allow others to display theirs first.

[FNS]

Here, as promised, is my capture of the SALISH RAVEN entering the Gatun Locks.  This is a "spit-screen" view of the ferry from the Canal's cam and the bridge cam aboard the PACIFIC PRINCESS (II).

Miraflores was down tonight.  No images from there for this voyage of the SALISH RAVEN.

The RAVEN is now anchored outside of the Canal channel, most likely to get more supplies and fuel from offshore vessels before heading north on the Pacific to BC.

[dofd]

She is getting close. West of San Diego direct Victoria.

[grk]

08:00 Wednesday morning the pilot shall board and take the vessel to Ogden Point, north side of Pier A.

[terrybc]

New ETA for the Pilot to board at Brotchie is now 12 Noon

[FNS]

The SALISH RAVEN is off the Oregon Coast tonight nearing Coos Bay.


Her pilot order as of tonight.

THE PICS BELOW ARE SOME SELECT IMAGES OF THIS VESSEL PASSING THROUGH THE GATUN LOCKS
I've waited for awhile to see if anyone else has done this and am now displaying these tonight for your viewing pleasure.

[Scott]

Her pilot order has been revised back to 0800 as of this morning.

[FNS]

The SALISH RAVEN is now in range of the Race Rocks cams:

She sometimes hides behind objects in these views.

[FNS]

Now switching to the Ogden Point cam (refresh if needed):

www.bigwavedave.ca/webcams.php?cam=10

[FNS]

I have "Print Screen" images of the SALISH RAVEN's approach to Victoria.  These will be put together later tonight after I return from supporting an athletic summer league event at a high school.

Meanwhile, I will now consider stopping the voyage time clock at 0900PDT 07JUN2017 for the SALISH RAVEN.  She's at Ogden Point.

WELCOME HOME!

[mybidness459]

Welcome to BC Salish Raven!.

Now would it be a cool thing to get a picture of all three Salish ships together.

Yeh, I know highly unlikely.

[FNS]

Here are three webcam images of the SALISH RAVEN as she neared Victoria yesterday morning:


Passing Port Angeles via the Race Rocks cam.  Yes, mountains are much bigger than ships!  They look really handsome with snow on them as well.


Sunrise on the water via the Race Rocks cam.  A freighter and the SALISH RAVEN.  Both look like cardboard cutouts.


Arriving Victoria via the BWD cam.

Let's thank the operators of these cams by visiting their sites:
