Random question. On vacation in Charleston two weeks ago and the kids got interested in where all the ships were coming from and going to. We ended up tracking a car carrier on marinetraffic.com (Sirius Highway, if anyone cares) and it appears to have changed it's destination port a couple times (originally listed as going to Belgium and being there 5 days ago), spent a few days anchored in the Irish sea, and is finally back underway after what seemed like an unplanned stop in England and is now headed to Germany.

So is the free version of marinetraffic.com just flakey, did the ship really have a bit of a weird crossing. The kids want to know what's up and I don't know what to tell them.

I gotta imagine it wasn't empty because there was another one loading up off of a rail yard full of BMWs from the SC plant but maybe? I guess if it's weird it's weird and that's still something for the kids to learn.

Couldn't believe how big the ships were though. Like a giant floating box with a little bit of a bow. Didn't even really look like a ship.
