Courage is also on the same chart! Don't we have some week 27 Mini's on the Courage? I think Konquest's.

 

way to go with mapping and the pics of the boat...that's so cool. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY MINI ARRRRRRGGGGGGG!!!!!....whew, I neeeeeded that.

 

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! WOOHOOOOOO!!!!!! I'm on the INTEGRITY as well!

 

TARIFA DEPARTS 07/16

Just checked WW and cargo tracking is now showing info, my Mini is going to be onboard, 173 Mini's on this trip.

 

The INTEGRITY!!! May she and all of her sisters have a safe and happy voyage!!!

 

Welcome aboard. I havent checked but we should have left port already at approximately 1pm EST.

Where the heck do you guys get these pics? I had a little free time and tried Googling them but no luck. And I thought I was insane!

Now on to ordering some accessories in anticipation of his/her (will have to wait and see the gender) arrival.

 

Another update on our friend Tristan...



Looks like she's gone about 300 to 400 miles since the last update. Slow and steady wins the race I guess.

 

Here's one: INTEGRITY just getting off and away (just off the Southhampton map as we speak).

BTW: we have a few Wk 28ers on our INTEGRITY. I told them they all need to behave and listen to their elders on the voyage over.

Wow, it seems like you Tristan folks left weeks ago. Looking at the map, it's amazing how SLOWWWW these boats go! Hurry up! I want my MINI!

 

Our daily Tristan update continues.




Looks like she's just a little less than halfway to the US!!!

Well, to the EAST COAST yes. Too bad you're speaking from the WEST!

 

Jeez guys, are we slackin' or what? A whole week without a single post???

The Tristan appears to have hit Brunswick today to drop off to you East Coasters! Congrats! Won't be long now before she's cruising through the Panama Canal and dropping off in Cali!!!

 

Wow, I guess I really am the only one in week 27 with borderline MOCD. I am just SO FREAKIN' EXCITED TO GET MY CAR!!!

Tristan should be starting her journey through the Panama Canal tomorrow or Tuesday! WOO HOO!!!

 

Yeah. I was just a posting away and no one was piping up so I joined the Wk 28ers! Lively bunch. I was late to the dock anyway, so I had to sit and wait while you guys took off.

The remaining Wk 27ers are on various boats, including the INTEGRIY which arrived/departed NY today. Due in to Chas on the 27th.

Cant wait!!! Not far behind!!

 

Hey Aonach,

I see that the Integrity is on schedule and pulling into Baltimore this AM.

 

Well, the Tristan is just floating around out there, waiting to enter the canal. She was scheduled to go through yesterday. Looks like we won't make it to Cali on August 1st like originally scheduled. :(

 

Yep that was yesterday (23rd). Got a shot of her entering the Bay. Damn that Bay is long! I have no idea where she is now. Was due to leave today (24th), but the WW site still lists Balt as a "to be visited site". Not sure what's up.

If you find her let me know. I am hearing Fri into Chas. I cant imagine 5 more days from Balt to Chas. That is when the Port of Chas site has her arriving.

Hang tight!

 

Yeah, I've got the same info. At least I can access the AIS site again, and have the chance of catching Integrity as she leaves the bay.

 

Tristan is making it's way through the canal!!! She's in the Gatun Locks right now...

 

Scratch that. AISlive just refreshed and she is through the Gatun Locks!!! WOO HOO!!!

 

Just Curious.....

Does anybody know what kind of cars these ships are dropping off in NY and Baltimore. I'm assuming since they originate in Germany that they are BMW's, VW's and Audi's.

 

Not sure, but there were 202 MINIs on board the Tristan when she left Southampton.

 

Yeah, there are 191 on the Integrity but obviously it's not stopping NY and Baltimore to let MINI's off.....Just Wondering. I'm running out of things to obcess about.

 

just got a call from the dealer, my car will be ready on monday - Momentum mini @ houston

 

Are you kidding me? And you are a week 27er? Man, I knew I should have ordered my car from Texas!!!

CONGRATS!!!

 

Alright fellow Tristan roommates (or would that be shipmates?), we are currently in the Pedro Miguel Locks. Next stop, Miraflores Locks, and then FREEDOM!!! Open seas!!! On to California!!!
