Hit the zoom-out a few times and you can see it's headed for Canada at a whopping 16 knots. Woo-hoo!

Thank God for beer!

The Elektra has left New York on her way to Baltimore and in the process has left my new buddy "Angus" at Newark's VDC. My MA says likely for Tuesday 5/30 but the miniusa.com website says Friday 6/2. I'll take it as it comes. My DS/S MCS will share the garage with "Mr. Pug", the wife's PW/B MCSa by next weekend. Six weeks can be a very, very long time!

Churs minispec! I've been giving myself a full week from when Elektra hit NYC and when my MINI will arrive at the dealer, just so I'll be pleased when it comes earlier (hopefully!).

Shadow has finally hit solid ground again as of today. Hopefully they will get him through quickly because now the wait is really hard, knowing that he is here and waiting to do some motoring!!

Hopefully everyone else has their MINI's soon.

How did you find out that Elektra left NYC? I am watching Integrity and the Sailwx site stopped updates off the coast of Canada. I looked at Elektra and the same thing happened, only a few days earlier.
Once Sailwx.info stops updating, how do you get progress info?

I went by and talked with him on Saturday and he was saying MAYBE by the end of this week, but probably the first of next. I know what you mean by the wait it is very painful know that it is this close!!

How long after it hits the VDC is it usually at the dealer? My MA said about a week but other owners have said more like 2 weeks

So how come that sailwx.info site stopped track it after May 28? I tried that aisfree site and it required a log in or acct setup. Ive heard that the Integrity made it to New York but does anyone know where it is now?

Looks like the ships voluntarily report their location and associated weather readings whilst crossing the North Atlantic. They don't need weather reports when they get to Cape Cod, as all they have to do is turn on TV . So, it looks like they quit reporting as they travel the coast. It should be in Baltimore today or tomorrow and Charleston on Saturday. Maybe.

Integrity is in Baltimore. You can use the AIS site without a login, just with limited info. The NYC harbor was covered very nicely, you could zoom in (click on the harbor from the map) and get a list of all ships there. It would circle the selected ship. Now that it has left NYC you have to choose South Atlantic. Baltimore is not covered in the free version so you just have to look at all the ship lables. Got lucky and can see the label for Integrity with a line pointing to Baltimore. The next good way to track will be from the WW site, use the voyage # EB620-ITG, Baltimore will go red when it leaves, that should be tomorrow.
Someone should create a DIY for tracking with all the shipping links and stickey it.

According to the WW site, Integrity has left Baltimore and is headed to......
Baltimore! It did this in NYC also. Went from one dock to another. Won't leave until tomorrow. Weird.
