Just curious to see what the lag really is on the OL page.
Mine reads "en route" as of this morning, day four of the journey.

Bertha, look out... we are motoring through.

Fenway is officially en route as well. I'm glad the sailwx.info is also showing his progress. Soon he'll be home snoring in the garage to ready himself for the real adventures!

Bumped UP!
Well, another change. This time for the better.

I’ve been bumped up one shipment. I am now on booking GBSOU659386. This in on Figaro, voyage EC811-FIG. It departs Southampton on 7/18 and arrives in NYC (Jersey City) on the 28th. Probably 1/3 of those listed on this booking are waitlisted, but not me…I’ve got my ticket! So, that gets it here 3 days earlier!

How 'bout that!

Cheers

Let me know how long it takes your MINI to get to Annapolis. My MINI is three days behind yours and going to Annapolis as well.

dpoole - what does your vehicle inquiry report say the port is? If the port lock is NYCPOA then you're getting off in NY.

I'll bet that there is not a BMW VDC in Batimore for your car to go to. I never thought to check the "track your mini" thread to see where the VDCs are - I just know that the ship's next port of call is Baltimore.

My Car is on the Patriot as well!
I just found out my clubman is on the PATRIOT as well! Very excited and your maps are great! Looking forward to getting my new car.... My dealership made an error in my first car order so let's hope this one shows up safe and sound!

The VDC is in NY/NJ so that is where the MINI's are off-loaded. It's only a few hours drive to Annapolis but no telling how long the MINI's will be at the VDC before they're released to the transports.
