Once you have picked up a boat by tracking her on the AIS page you can also add your own waypoints - double click on the vessel's current position and then select 'distance to', a yellow box then gives an ETA based on the speed she is currently steaming at on her last fix - thereby providing a pretty accurate idea as to when she might be heading in through the gaps..... .....as in the Gary M heading through the gaps.

The huge Danish pelagic boat Cattleya is tracked here on the live AIS page as she traverses the grounds south side of the Wolf Rock.
