I got curious enough about this topic to call a buddy of mine who works International Traffic. I asked if he'd ever heard of a container ship ending up at a different port. "Heard of it? Goddamn, boy, they do it all the time! 'Specially this time of year. The really big ships are hardcore, but the smaller ships don't want to mix it up with Mother Nature much. So they go around."
