I think you are right. My OL changed status this morning, and that usually takes a few days. Patriot only left yesterday. CH left earlier.

Oh, cool. I have bonnet stripes.

I'm hoping it can leave the VDC by Wednesday or so. It's only about a 4-5 hour drive from the VDC to my dealer, which is good. That should give the dealer two days to get the papers and then I should be able to get it by the weekend!

OL shows us Enroute this morning as well. We are not on WW tracking, so must be on Caribbean Highway with RaceTripper. Same scenario here, our MCS will be at the VDC for driving light install before heading to StL Mini for delivery. We are off on a road trip to Maryland this week, so we'll be checking-in when we get back home...

In the --select location-- drop down, select 0-, then scroll /page through the ship listings and find Western Highway, click and her position will be displayed below.

She made it to Baltimore yesterday, 2 days early! Hoping she leaves for Charleston soon ...
Woo hooo! Thanks for the info. I've been wondering if she sunk off the coast on the 16th.

I was wondering if she has already unloaded or not?

RoadTrip and RaceTripper, I added you to the status page as 'on the Caribbean Highway' I am pretty sure you must be, as the timing of the OL just makes sense! (we can always change it later!) Now there are only 3 in week 32 who has not reported what ship they are on.

For those going into Charleston, here is the site for the Port of Charleston Vessel Report, just in case you didn't have it.

Eww. That is the one thing that I absolutely hate about being on the MS Gulf Coast- the hurricanes!! But, then again, I don't think anyone that had to live through Katrina and her crap would ever want to deal with hurricanes again!

I am definitely on Caribbean Highway (due Charleston 8/27). The sales mgr. called me this morning to let me know. He thinks my JCW could arrive from the VDC as early as the 3rd (depending on driving light install).

Just looking at Western Highway, she apparently arrived early to Baltimore, anchored and now is moving to the dock to unload. If she leaves today or tomorrow morning she may still be a day ahead of schedule.

So I was looking on
https://www.firstnynj.com/

to see when the Independence II is scheduled to arrive, but it is not listed! The Fidelio is scheduled to arrive on the 21st, but no word on I-II. I'm getting nervous because I haven't seen an update on the vessel in awhile....

someone make me feel better!

It's most likeky at port and unloading. I think New York information may not always be accurate or even available.

That's one way to find the ship!! I haven't been able to see any ships at New York for almost 2 days! How long until your dealer has your MINI, any ideas?

Gosh - it won't be long before some of you start to get your babies!!! This is exciting!! Thankfully, the hurricane shouldn't be too big, and shouldn't have an effect on the ships. You know.. I don't recall even cruise ships cancelling, they seem to know how to go around the storms!

Is it just me - or is this site having issues again? Pages are taking forever to load.
