Is Anyone Else Tracking the Don Juan?

The Don Juan is scheduled to dock in NJ on December 15th. My Mini is on that boat! Is yours?

This has become my new theme song for the next week or so:

Keep in contact with your MA and use this thread to track your car:

I don't think you'll have it for Christmas though, probably more realistically mid next month. My car was build Nov 17 and it just got on a boat last week after sitting in the port for 3 weeks. But I can't say for sure, maybe your car did make it onto the Don Juan.

Don Juan is docked in NJ. I found www.marinetraffic.com to be a much better tracking site. You can type in the ship name on the left and if it's in range of a transmitter, you can track it better than sailwx, IMO. you can set waypoints and get destination timing estimations based on current course/speed.

Looks like Mignon is 90 minutes away from port based on current track.

Happy sailing!

Yes, Marine traffic is better when the ship is in range. When I was checking on our ships it was out. Right now Mignon is about 5 NM out from Port H! Nice both coasts are happy today. I have at least a wek to allow for transport over the Rockies.

Found mine at the dealer lot today, Im keeping my fingers crossed, not sure how much they have to do, and there was quite a few new ones there that needed prep for delivery, but Im hoping for the best.
Heres a link to a couple of cell phone pics

AHHH! That's awesome! I have no idea if mine is at the dealer yet. My MA will probably call me tomorrow. My dealership is almost 2 hours away from me, so I can't easily drive by and check for mine.

Not sure what ship mine is on. It was built 11/22 and listed as awaiting transport on the 29th, but the status has never changed. Both my MA and AskMini say its still at the port in Bremerhaven. Seems like a long time at the port. Any chance it could be on a ship and the status won't change until it hits the US?

My car was built Nov 17th and it didn't get on a ship until Dec 7. If it isn't on a boat yet, it should be soon. There's a tracking thread linked into this thread. It has directions to track your car using the cargo shipping company's information and your car's VIN. Mine was "returned to shipper" twice, which means it was rejected from 2 other ships before it finally got on a boat...probably due to lack of space.
