  1. Not sure when she made it, but she is now in Dutch Harbor. I found her by he ARPS tracking signal: 2010-12-08 15:23:39z -51°57.67′ N 4°07.50′ E

  2. Correction needed.

    There is a Golden Sea and a Golden SeaS. Something I was unaware of and which makes the above lat/long incorrect.

    However the Golden Seas successfully anchored in Broad Bay in Dutch Harbor at 12:52 p.m. as reported by DIVIDS Hub News.
