Scott,

She'll arrive on station to pick up her pilot around dawn, which should have her coming through the cut into PEV @ 7 am or so as they'll want maximum daylight for the media. She'll be escorted by a US Naval Destroyer into the port and once she's in the turning basin, she'll turn and back down into Berths 21 and 22 going starboard side to the pier.
