I was able to locate the Western Highway using this Website: http://www.sailwx.info. Go to Ship tracker, find a specific ship by name or call sign, and enter the call sign 3EJK5.

How were you able to find out your MINI was aboard? I'm *guessing* mine may be, too, as she was at the port on Sept 26 but did not seem to be on any of the WW ships. Was your MA able to tell you that yours was on board? Mine doesn't seem to have any useful info......
Anyway, congrats, and I hope Little Blu is on board keeping your PW/B company!

Still no official confirmation that my MINI is on this boat, BUT my MA did confirm that she's en route and scheduled to reach the VDC on Oct 16. That is enough for me to be convinced that Little Blu is indeed stowed away somewhere on Western Highway! I'm going to follow kjrhammer's great Google progress map with great interest and hope for the best!

From Wikipedia:
Coordinated Universal Time is abbreviated UTC. The International Telecommunication Union wanted Coordinated Universal Time to have a single abbreviation for all languages. English speakers and French speakers each wanted the initials of their respective language's terms to be used internationally: "CUT" for "coordinated universal time" and "TUC" for "temps universel coordonné". This resulted in the final compromise of using "UTC".[3]
Basically, same as GMT -- good question!
