No, unfortunately. My car arrived at the terminal the day after the departure of the MAERSK WIND.

amazonracer, I'm there with you. The ship is skirting the Sargasso Sea doing about 18 knots. With luck, we should be at the Port 6/25.

rover, at least you made the Madame Butterfly.

Nah, I thought I was left behind and you proved I wasn't. There must be goodwill coming your way. You're there.

MinPin, what'd your MA give you for a delivery? Curious as I'm just 13 hrs up the road from you.

Mgibrace-All she will say is early July. I'm hoping for before the Fourth of July but most likely it will be the second week of July. What have you been told?

I'm with you

My MCS is on the Maersk Wind. Curiously, I think my '03 MC rode the same ship over about four years ago. I'll be in Europe from June 21 to July 14 and I hope it is here when I return.

Use the Vin#. Just remember and I didn't, they use a different sequence for the date. 4/6/2007 is really 6/4/2007.

MinPin, Late June-early July. I think you're probably closer to the truth.

Ex-Pat, if you actually mean track the ship, use http://www.sailwx.info/ , zoom in and follow ship tracking with ship name.

Just got an update from my MA that puts the Maersk Wind in port on the 27th. He then stated that it's about 10-14 days up to Portland. You Cali guys should see yours sooner.

I just saw the moved up date to the 23rd. Anything making the wait shorter is all good to me.

I think my car is at the VDC as the ship is on its way up the coast. The information says unloaded but the owners lounge still says on route. If its at the VDC, does anyone know approx. how long to the dealer in the South Bay? Thanks again

Maersk Wind in Panama Canal 6/16

Ship is probably already in port but just got home from Panama and had a chance to download photos. Passed the Maersk Wind in the Canal on the 16th and wondered whether it had Minis or not. Here's a few photos if anyone's interested.
