The "Owners Lounge" on your Miniusa site is of very limited use.
The MA usually doesn't know or may even care about your Mini's ocean voyage.
The single best source for info is 1-866-275-6464(ASK-MINI). Try to talk to a live rep.
Using your vin you might catch which ship you're on.
Tracking across the Atlantic Ocean is not happening.
Through the Panama Canal, you can get a day or 2 of coverage.
Tracking from Panama to half way up Baja isn't happening.
I'm hoping to catch coverage half way up the Baja.

 

If you are lucky, your ship reports to Sailwx and you can get updates about evey 3 hours for some chunks of the voyage.

Yeah, well, my ship (Glorious Leader) never reported through Sailwx after it passed by Bristol. the marine traffic site (http://marinetraffic.com/ais/) was better though for whatever reason.

 

You're "off the grid" now for a couple weeks!

 

M V Aphrodite Leader reports off Cabo.
ETA Port Hueneme Feb 13, 1am!
At least we can see the home stretch now!

 

 

Dose anyone have a new baby coming to Florida? I don't know which shipping line comes to Florida. I keep checking WW but nothing shows up. Leaves there tomorrow for GA and on my order it says that is were it will come in.

 

M V Manon(WW) is currently in Southhampton , so that's a possibility.

Does anyone find it ironic that our coupes, which have been variously described as having a helmet or a backward baseball cap, might very well end up on a ship named Fedora?

<searching for ways to find this situation amusing>

Here's hoping Tuesday brings a Loaded On Vessel message from WW online tracking

 

My second build! Last was in 08. Complete and waiting for a boat as of this weekend. Hopefully I can learn which ship this week.

 

M V Aphrodite Leader will dock in Port Hueneme within the hour.
Now it gets really exciting!

 

M V Aphrodite moored at 5:35 pacific time.

Looks like Mini Z is booked for the Fedora for tomorrow....hopefully the boat isn't too full from the stop in Bremerhaven and Zeebrugge again. A bit 'o pessimism has reared its ugly head for me

"Chin up!!!"

 

Anybody tracking the Platinum Ray? Supposed to be in Manzanillo, Mex today. Waiting for MCS cabrio chili red that we ordered for my wife. The wait is driving me more crazy than her!!!

 

I just saw your post and checked, I'm booked too. Time to fire up Marinetraffic.

 

Plat Ray looks like it's already "out of range". Now you got a week of nothin'!
It is scheduled for Port Hueneme Feb. 22.
Sag Leader Mar. 1.
This schedule is pretty accurate.

(Thanks to DR61 for finding this)

 

@Taosman thanks, Just found the schedule of arrivals for Manzanillo at is is scheduled to arrive there at 22:00 today

 

About 5 hours for the Fedora to reach Southampton if you're tracking it.

 

My 12 MCS just got to the dealer in Indy. Ordered 1/4/12, will be picking it up Thursday.

They accidentally put driving lamps on it. $900 option I'll take it.

The roof is black. The protective wrap is still on there in white.

 

Yay!!

Hope I get free front and rear fog lights!!!

 

M V Fedora, currently in port, has a capacity of 6000 cars!!!!!!! Holy S#%t!
One of the new class of super car carriers.

 

Yay! My chances of getting bumped just got smaller

 

Deleted.

 

Well mine didn't make it on the boat. The next boat will be Feb 19th. Hope I make it on that one. If I make that one it will get into Brunswick, GA on Mar 5th then to Florida. This wait is killing me. :(

 

I made it!!! I think my GF will start talking to me again now that I am not constantly checking for updates.
