1,878 nautical miles traveled.

 

Off the coast of Nova Scotia looks to be a day ahead but it may just sit off shore for its scheduled time in NY.

 

Thanks for posting the progress. I've been a bit lazy about checking myself but am counting on its arrival into port on Monday.

 

Ships often sit out at sea for a day or two waiting for the port to become available and/or all the customs stuff to be done. I have a friend that works for a company that handles all ships coming into VIT and he says it's pretty much SOP.

 

anyone know how long it typically takes to get out of the VDC in Jersey?

 

Highly dependent on what is happening to your Mini there. My MA says mine should only be there a day or two since I don't have anything being installed there.

However if your Mini is damaged on the way it is fixed there, and it could be there for a while.

 

I have a last of the turbocharged edition r52 sitting in NY right now waiting on parts they forgot to send over with the car... hoping they are on integrity, should be on integrity which could mean I could have my car the end of next week... right AFTER i leave to go out of town

 

CXG so you got one of the Black vert.s? I believe these are the last supercharged minis. What all comes on that model?

 

It rolls off the line:

JCW package
LSD
Sidewalk Package w/ black leather
Cold Weather Package
center armrest

What I am waiting on the docks on is special badging, bonnett stripes, and rocker sills. Hope they are on this ship!

I know the article I read the other day showed a pepper white sidewalk as the last R52, didn't say if it was supercharged? Are all the sidewalks supercharged?

 

All R52s that are s models are. It is the old body style. They new ones with the turbo eng won't be avaiable til next spring. Also I read a report from Mini that stated the last 100 08 Convertables would all be Black. So you got one, hope it comes soon.

 

it appears so, I did not realize it until after the fact. Pretty excited about it.

 

At least the last one was white:

White Silver Metallic is that a one off color?

 

It's an option on miniusa.com - $500 add on and requires the sidewalk package.

 

As I write this the ship is about 150 mils East of Boston so should be in port a day early by tomorrow. WW updated there schedule yesterday. The update didn't give indications on the other ports but that will probably be indicated after it departs. Cheers all

 

Almost 24 hours since the last update on the tracking site. I wonder if it's docked already?!

 

as much as I'd like that to be the case (Integrity has already docked) - I see that the "Queen Mary 2" has not changed positions either. I think the sailwx site is having "issues".

However, as one poster noted earlier - the arrival date in NY has been moved up to 8/10 - TOMORROW!!!!

 

Once it gets close to the US it stops sending updates, so I don't think it has to do with the site having issues. I just tried to register for the AISLive site to see if I could get further updates on the progress of the Integrity, but apparently they have to "process" my application and email me.

 

I tried registering for AISLive as well - still haven't been approved for my 2 week trial period!

I did find this site and have registered:
http://traffic.nymaritime.org/

It shows arrivals and departures at the NY docs. Yesterday, it showed the Don Juan leaving on 8/9 so I'm betting they're pretty accurate. I'm just waiting on my "approval" there as well!

 

According to the W&W Voyage details, the Integrity has DOCKED in NY!

Now, to watch this web site to see when the Integrity leaves the port, meaning all MINIs are off the boat and on their way to the VDC!

According to the nymaritime site, the Integrity has departed!

 

It's so exciting!

 

Next stop Baltimore than on to Charleston. I'm guessing a day early to CHS. Maybe even the 14th.

 

I should be motoring by Friday.

 

You guys ROCK! Thanks for keeping such a close watch. I'm wondering if my MINI is feeling a bit off kilter from the long sea ride. So if my dealership is in NJ, do you think I'll be taking delivery this weekend?
