Birdman, if you don't mind I'm going to print out your previous post and hand it to my wife. This way she'll see that I'm not the only one uttering that question several times per night and tracking little red dots on my computer screen at least 10 times a day, and then once more before I go to bed just in case. Maybe she'll think I'm normal after all! Okay, that's pushing it!

The 2pm EST update of the Undine showed she is making good headway. She traveled 112 miles in that 6 hour update (it updates every 6 hours). That's the furthest it has gone in 6 hours yet so far.

Next update at 8pm eastern. Lets see how she does!!

Pav,
Make sure you start monitoring the entrance to Halifax for the Undine. It will be a beautiful sight seeing here pull into a NA harbor!!

Birdman - You have brought a new level to tracking your MINI. I thought I knew a lot about it. Am using some of your enthusiasm (and resources) to track our second MINI. Jack has just boarded the Manon and due to leave Southampton today at noon (Phoenix time). Jake, the big brother MINI, is waiting patiently for his new little... ...brother.

Glad you are having fun. I know I did!

Thanks Scooter, but I'm not sure it should be called "fun"??#$@! Fun, will be when I drive it home!!

Pav,
We have to try and figure out exactly what time she'll be pulling into port tomorrow. Here is the Berth info for halifax, Undine isn't listed yet.... but I'm sure she'll show up on it tonight or tomorrow morning...

So when it shows up on the berth list, that means it has docked? Or will it be next to dock? In either event - it's on the list!

I also noticed that there[s only 32 of us on the Undine. Is that right??

Yeah, I think there were 178 total mini's loaded. Were do you see the 32 coming off...?

The schedule is that, a schedule of ships expected to be in those berths. So that means it is either in now, or on it's way into port not....


Wait, is that the UNDINE????

NO!! False alarm.... it's not the Undine....

I thought the exact same thing! It just might be...

When you track via W&W's site, use the booking number instead of your VIN number. It shows a list of all the vehicles loaded in Southampton and destined for Halifax (or, NY, in your case)

That is a ferry, NOT the Undine.

Attached is a pic of the Undine.

This is a link to picutres of W&W's fleet, including the Green and white Undine. It's possible the one you posted is also named "Undine", but from another shipping company. But I think they just have the picutre wrong, becuase that is a ferry, not a roro type ship. ;-)

Where's Minibird??? None of the webcams show the "Autoport" dock, which is where the Undine is right now. But, we should be able to catch here leaving first the port, then exiting the bay...

FOUND IT!! Looks like the Undine entered the Halifax port this morning at around 6 or 7 am. The Undine is the large ship in the distance, circled in red. It is on it's way into the port. The pic was from 6am Halifax time this morning......

I wonder if the Undine's Captain knows that he's being stalked?!


Your enthusiasm is contagious!
