Looking at this site a few minutes ago

I found the ship Fidelio in the harbor and got a screen grab (which I posted above). But now, the Fidelio is not there!

The Halifax webcams

http://www.halifaxwebcam.ca/live/ind...9&SET_CAM=cam9

are too foggy to show anything.

The ship may have already departed for New York (!?) or do they turn off their tracking gear sometimes in the harbor...?

The AISLive website is once again reporting the position of Fidelio at the dock in Halifax harbor.

 

Is anyone familiar with the Halifax Harbor?

If the Carnival Victory is the ship on the right then the Fidelio is on the opposite bank and likely obscured by the island.

 

I guess Fidelio is still docked in Halifax.
No new tracking info on AIS sight.
Can't get the other site with Halifax port to show anything at all though.
Wait is almost over but this is driving me crazy knowing it is so close.

 

MiniO (and all),

I was looking at this site

http://ais3.siitech.net/VTSLite/AView.aspx

yesterday and for whatever reason all data from the Halifax area just went away. I was observing the North America/Canada map at the time. Data from the St Lawrence River in Canada and from New York and other US ports continued to be displayed -- but Halifax showed no ships at all. It is still that way this morning.

I'm hoping that the Fidelio has left Halifax and is en route to New York. If so we may start to pick up location information once it nears US waters (fingers crossed).

I'm a novice at using these sites so if someone with more experience can explain the situation "I'm all ears".

If I see something I'll report it here.

Gary

 

According to the W&W site, the Fidelio has left Halifax and should be en route to New York.

 

Thanks Gary for all your updates!

Go, man go!

 

The website Vesseltracker.com has a position for Fidelio. It is on the march toward New York (now at a position just off Boston)!

 

Just checked vesseltracker.com and got this message when I tried to trace Fidelio...

 

Fidelio is now in New York Harbor. It is the Red ship in the map below.

Now she must get to the dock and begin the unloading process.

You can "watch" live at this site:

Anybody know any NY Harbor webcams?

 

Here's another view

 

Entering Upper New York Bay heading for Jersey City, NJ dock:

Fidelio is docked in port. Let the off loading begin!

 

so close....the pier in Jersey City is only about 10 miles from my office.
I should goi check it out and supervise off loading

 

Wow...that was quick!

Yup - our car came off the boat at 0800 too per the W&W website.

These guys mean business!

Hope the energy continues. I'm selling my old car later today so we'll be down to one car for a week or so.

I want my Mini!

Gary

 

Hope this goes quick.
I sold my POS Jetta early June and have been driving a borrowed NEON since.
The Mini is my only vehicle.
good luck on sale of you old vehicle. Hope it goes smooth and you get what you want.
So now that the cars have been off loaded. I guess we are in the darl now about status until it gets delivered to the dealer?

 

My Motoring Advisor at Mini of Sterling advises that my car is at the VDC and awaiting transport to the dealership. He can't tell me an arrival date until it is put on a vehicle hauler.

We're hoping and praying that we might be able to pick up the car next Thursday (the 24th). I'll let you know.

Gary

 

I'm so excited for you! I hope it all goes quickly. The Patriot is making its way across the ocean and getting nearer to Halifax every second. It finally showed up on sailwx after about four days.
