Holy ****, I wasn't even checking OL anymore. I'm with you on the Ivory Arrow! Mini says it's expected in Brunswick on the 28th!

I wouldn't have looked at all if you didn't post. Thanks!

Holy Moly, mine shows in transit also (AKA at sea). Guess mine could be on a different shipper also. Or could I just be setting myself for another disappointment? or

The world wonders.

Call ask-mini, they'll set you straight. You're probably on K-line like us.

No, call 866-275-6464, press 2, enter your order number, press 1, let the robot do its thing, then ask to speak to customer service (0).

The K-line schedule estimates it'll actually be the 28th but I'm hoping the estimate is off...

That's fantastic, guys! That's so unexpected, too. I just called and chatted with customer service and unfortunately they gave me the same info that I'm seeing using the automated systems so I think I've gotta wait until Saturday or Sunday to get a ship most likely. Oh well, I'll do some more of what I've gotten good at - waiting

That's a bummer. I guess you just missed the cut-off for mfr date in the queue of cars to beard. Now you know another batch has been cleared out so you'll leave tomorrow for sure.

Now there's a pleasant thought
Here's to hoping, RMN! I'll definitely let you know.

Where did you get that info from? I'm trying to track the Tonsberg, but lost gps signal in the Atlantic a few days ago.

I am using satellite tracking to get more info. It only updates every few hours, but it's something to keep me entertained.

She's inching closer to the coast. Just under 1,000 miles away and at current speeds she'll dock in Baltimore Monday about 9:30PM CST, which would put her on track to get to Brunswick some time Thursday morning.

Thanks for the info! 2 days before I was expecting! Is satellite tracking accessible online, or do you need special equipment?

You have to sign up for a site that offers it. I was referring to the Ivory Arrow in my last post. I see the TONSBERG is scheduled to arrive in Baltimore on the 26th at about 7PM CST but at current speed and heading its ETA is actually the 27th about 5PM. It needs to step on the gas a bit.

Checked the GPS tracking 11 AM EST and Ivory Arrow still shows being in European waters. By now you'd think it would show up on the US GPS tracking somewhere off shore North America.

Guess we won't know anything more until it docks in Balt.

Ivory Arrow is in the Chesapeake Bay and hopefully will reach Baltimore in the next 5-7 hours.
