The dive support vessel "Alucia" departed Harbor Island, Seattle, WA at 10/1430z for Port Suape, Brazil via the Panama Canal. The Puget Sound pilot disembarked off Port Angeles at 10/2010z and the transit time to Balboa, Panama is 13 days 19 hours at 12 knots (3,975NM).
A long time ago nautical charts labelled unexplored regions with the phrase, ‘Here be Dragons’. That’s what MV Alucia is all about. We want to visit the dragons.
Edit :: Vessel anchored / slow maneuvers in Freshwater Bay, west of Port Angeles at 10/2112z. Why? Possibly testing dynamic positioning (DP) mode. Your guess is as good as mine!
