Indeed, at around 1930 UTC they both started steaming towards the north-northeast at about 5 knots, aimed straight towards Long Beach. They're currently 200 nm from LB, so our first arrival estimate would be 40 hours from now, or Tuesday morning.
Are there webcams at the Port of Long Beach?
NRC Quest isn't a tug. It doesn't tow an ASDS. It's a logistics support vessel.
I'm sure this was posted/discussed earlier in this thread, but I wasn't aware. Thanks to some helpful reminders of it in L2, here is public information about where the ASDS is going:Google Maps:2900 Miner Street, San Pedro, CAhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/2900+Miner+St,+San+Pedro,+CA+90731/@33.7204283,-118.2769551,17z/(click into Street View )Facebook discussion of the location with maps:https://www.facebook.com/groups/spacexgroup/permalink/10154943093596318/

It says it was taken mid 2016, but it takes a while to publish.Seen one ground mount, seen them all.
I see this booster (Iridium Flight 1 returned to JRTI) is marked as 0029. Most labeling on the rest of the sight and the manifest gave 29 to the failed AMOS-6 core, and this is considered 30. It would be best to be consistent sight wide, who can pass judgement here?

Some other number is the second-stage number (unknown). /r/spacex has a nice wiki with the available core information
