SEPTEMBER 14 - Illustrated Learning Journal #cargoexplorer
..........
Found myself waking up this morning wondering where "my" ship had moored 
or whether it travelled all night. Barely awake I sprinted to the computer to find it being loaded in a port called Waalhaven, nr Rotterdam. How exciting.
Having watched it cruise in the pitch dark, navigating locks and barely lit waterways I was feeling happy to see it in daylight again.
It is so interesting to me, that when I dont know something, everything appears fresh and exciting , a new discovery everytime I ask a question.
As promised I looked up the ships name. It is MCS Feniks, and started its journey yesterday in a port near Amsterdam. Here a link to the webcam if you'd like to take a peek

I pressed a few dutch buttons and ended up on the right place which told me all the journey information, mooring times and ports of destination.
Further information , with kind thanks to " vesselfinder" can be found on their ship tracking website

I am not quite sure what all the numbers mean yet, but I will learn in time.
At the time of writing this the position of the MCS Feniks is here.....
and my screen is almost pitched dark as it is now night time, but the boat is still travelling , having had lots of container loading and unloading stops in Rotterdam. I'll post some more pics later.
Now I am wondering how it navigates, radio? echo? Ah here comes thing to find out...
