If your MINI is on the Madame Butterfly
If your MINI is on the Madame Butterfly here's an update...
It left Baltimore harbour on 5/4... it was scheduled to leave 5/5 so it must be a fast ship... right?
It is scheduled to arrive at Charleston on 5/7... let's see if it has stamina to keep up the pace.
It will discharge it's load of 110 MINI's at Union Pier Terminal.
Sat. Photo's indicate that the MINI lot has plenty of space to receive the MINI shipment.
Union Pier Terminal is located on the COOPER RIVER in Charlston... how cool is that!
Waiting is very difficult... there are only a few things that seem to make the time pass more quickly. Help me.

Thanx for the UPDATE!!
My new baby is also on the Madame Butterfly! I can't wait! I've been without MINI for over a month now and i'm having serious withdrawls!
PW/PW MCS with LSD
Hopefully she'll breeze through the VDC and be at my dealer Monday or Tuesday! My last two MINI order's only took 1-2's days to arrive at the dealer from the VDC.

I'm suprised to hear how quick the MINI's can come out of the VDC. I'm in Michigan and would expect that a car hauler would take 2 to 3 days to get here from Charleston. I might see my MINI in a week or so.
I'm monitoring arrivals at the harbour. I'll keep you posted when the Madame comes in. It might be a day early... today!... if leaving Baltimore a day early leads to that.

Well I've tried to find some good links to keep an eye on NY activity but haven't had any luck yet. It varies by port authority, city and state... and NY seems hard to get a handle on. Is it related to 9/11 data blackout or ??... I dunno.
I was trying to track Madame through every stop and hit the wall at NY. I didn't try real hard though since the final destination was observable and I could get some basic info from the WW site that owns/operates Madame.
I'll work on the latitude/longitude thing though. That would be data I could get out of a Coast Guard Navigation Light List which is available online.

More Data... these are from the actual company that runs the terminal and they do not seem to have real time data. I will continue to check.

Has anyone ever spotted a MINI here?

I distilled the spec down as tight as I could and went for bang for the buck based on my personnal needs.
Have a great time with your MINI when it arrives... we should get them before the holiday weekend so... not a bad time for them to arrive.
