For those of you who's MINI is on the Talia or Triton Leader, here is a picture of your ship as it arrived at the Mira Flores Locks on 2/28/11. I captured this image on my iPhone while watching the Panama Canal webcam.

The Talia (red) is carrying 276 MINIs while the Triton Leader (blue) is carrying 110 MINIs. Both ships are going to the Port of Hueneme.

Thanks for the picture! This is so exciting. :D

I can't wait for the 8th now. Hopefully they'll haul butt and get up to California before then.

Yes. 17 sliver spoke. Was worried that I didn't get the 18s, but these look great to me.

Sweet, congrats on almost being there!

I still haven't heard anything but my MA is... well... lets say not the best at communicating. It could be sitting there for all I know so I'm hoping to be able to take delivery late Friday or Saturday.

well folks, it's been fun, but I no longer need the week 3 support group.

Chase arrived on Tuesday, 3/1/11.

And he's awesome.

Now to go post in all the other threads (NAV/windows/etc.)

but also, THANK YOU for the support and help and everything, y'all made the wait a little more bearable.

Congrats on Chase!

Thankfully those who have CMs on the Talia and the Triton (like me!) don't have that much longer to wait. 3 days and they're in port!

Been playing with my new CM all weekend. It is worth the wait! So I will officially leave the week 3 group. See you on the other threads.

Wow our car is on the Triton Wind it was produced about the time the Talia left. I heard the Talia was stuck in some storm in the Atlantic. Is that what happened?

Talia was stuck in the Atlantic for about 5-6 days; don't know if it was a storm or what. It's scheduled to dock at Hueneme with the Triton Leader on the 9th.

The Talia will be going to San Diego before she goes to Port of Hueneme on 3/9.

You can view the Talia on the San Diego "Coronado" webcam as she leaves tomorrow at 5pm.

Thanks for the info -- but shouldn't that ship get her priorities straight? Hueneme is way more important than San Diego.....

I feel like both the Talia and the Triton Leader are teasing us. The Triton Leader is in Long Beach right now.

So close and yet so far haha
