Sooo....anyone else on this thing?

 

Yes, indeed!. Looks like we're well on our way. Zonker will be staying on board for the trip down to Charleston.

Basil (at least I think that's his name) (BRG/B) is aboard as well. Aren't we lucky that the INTEGRITY is broadcasting weather reports!

 

This is what I got from my tanker friend...

"6th AM ordering pilot in Sandy Hook (current ETA 1000hrs LT).. Your car should be in the lot on the 7th.."

 

Just checked for info on the Integrity.

Waves 7.0 meters (23 feet), 10 second period. Wind at 62 knots.

My Mini is in the hurricane!!!!

 

Ouch! Hang on, Zonker! Hope everything was tied down tight.

It looks like things have calmed down a bit but it looks like she didn't make much headway today.

 

Voyage details now say tomorrow for New York instead of today.

 

There haven't been any updates on the tracker since last night. I think the hurricane sank our Mini's.

 

sailwx still has nothing beyond the fourth of November. Though WW still has it scheduled to arrive at New York today.

Anyone know how to use the aislive website and have any additional information? I tried signing up, but I can only look at european ports.

 

The Port of Charleston (where my vessel Caribbean Highway is due in today) shows the integrity making port there on 11/10/07. You can check the website for updates at:

info there now:

3 INTEGRITY
WALLENIUS AND WALLENIUS WILHELMSEN 652 11/10/2007 Discharge: VEH
Load: VEH


New York probably has their own site you can check for unloading there.

I just gave up on the sailwx site myself. I'm guessing they'll be on the way to the VDC today and we'll here something from our dealers shortly. I guess this is the end of the neurotic tracking game.

 

.

 

Bah! The tracking isn't over until the carrier rolls into the lot! :D

The Voyage details now show New York in red so I assume that means she's in port. I assume the Cargo Status page for your VIN will be updated to indicate when she's discharged and at the VDC.

After that it's ASKMINI and MINIUSA.com and just hope she doesn't hang around in the VDC for three weeks while they dry her out and try to get the seawater smell out.

 

Lots of position updates from Chesapeake Bay. She's left Baltimore and is on scheduled to hit Charleston on 11/11. My MINI should hit US soil on my birthday. :D

 

oh yeahhhh FINAL

 

Good deal! Pretty short trip from the NY VDC to your dealer. Have you checked with your dealer yet?

 

They called yesterday. Picking it up Thursday. One month from order to pickup.

 

Wow. I can handle waiting when it's on the ship or in some other state. Having it at the dealer and waiting is what's going to kill me.

I'm now showing as discharged in Charleston. Here's hoping for a clean trip through the VDC.

 

5 hours to go. Boooyeahhhhhh
