Er... yes Have I not said?
PA = Panama
PAC = Panama Canal
Strictly speaking it's incorrect it should be PA BLB
BLB=Balboa

Should be wrapped and under a tree for you
Yeah, good present! The house that's being built is also done half of December, so very much a 'christmas present month'.

The GLOVIS SUN competition is now open for entries!
All you have to do is study the chart below and using your skill and judgement decide which gridsquare GLOVIS SUN will be in at Midday UTC on 09 Dec 20?
She will be sailing between Panama (bottom left) and Zeebrugge (top right).
Only 1 entry per person In the event of multiple entries, only your first entry will count.
In the event of a tie, the person who chose the closest gridsquare first will be declared the winner.
The competition will close to new entries when GLOVIS SUN enters the Panama Canal.
There is no prize - it's just bit of fun!
My advice is to enter early.
If you wait to the last minute like @Mr. Impatient does you just end up as the third or fourth person to choose that square - so enter early.

@Mr Miserable I seem to remember you mentioning earlier that the Zeebrugge locks are notorious for malfunctioning ? The "Hoegh Kobe" has been almost an hour in the lock now, trying to leave Zeebrugge. Do you know how long it usually takes to fix the locks ?
They have been causing problems for years. I don't know how long they take to fix.
However we at least now know why GRAND AURORA will have to anchor and wait until Thursday morning to dock.

I'm gonna use that for work. Brilliant.

I hope GLOVIS CRYSTAL is aware of the planned work.
She is due to arrive at 13:30 on 5 Dec and if she has not departed by 08:00 on 7 Dec she will be stuck in port for a couple more days, if the work finishes on schedule.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see her try and arrive a bit earlier.

@Mr Miserable Do you know the reason they actually have locks at Zeebrugge? is it like in the Netherlands that they have reclaimed land from the sea and the waterlevel inside the locks are lower ? or vise versa ?
GRAND AURORA is approaching Brixham to pick up her pilot.
I should imagine it's to allow the inner harbour to have a fixed water level ie not subject to tidal ebb and flow.
I'm sure I said that in my post showing the lock outage. Yup, just checked, I did.
