Video of panama canal passing of boats carrying your car.

I just found a Java Program that will capture pictures of boats as it passes through the panama canal. You should be able to use this to track your cars and make a video of the boats carrying your cars as they go through the canal.

This is all thanks to forum member Inline_Six who had written this program while we were waiting for our cars. Please let me know if anybody wants this and I can PM it to you.

Just so you know, you can still track your boat as it goes up the west coast. Real time on the ocean. When it docks and leaves San Diego, you can even use some cameras on the Cabrillo National Monument to look at live. You will be able to get the schedule for every port the boat will be docking at as well.

We knew every second, where exactly our cars were.

Oh, for sure. I've been tracking it all the way along its journey via vesselfinder. I was just hoping for a web cam glimpse of it as it passed through the canal.
