Question Confused about "transit" status

Hey gang,

I'm wondering if anyone can give any insight on what I've learned about the status of the delivery of my Moxie.

I called the MiniUSA automated number this morning. The familiar friendly "automated guy" reported to me that my vehicle is in transit.

My experience shows that the Owner's Lounge status is always lagged behind the what the automated reports. It shows that Moxie is still awaiting transport, and not en route. So - ok, that's cool. I expect that the site will update later.

However, what's confusing me is that when I check WW by putting my VIN in the Cargo ID, no records are found. Also, WW shows that the next boat out of Southampton to Brunswick, GA doesn't leave until January 28th on one boat, and then January 30th on another.

Looking at the K-Line schedule, the only export on today's date (Jan 25th) is from Bremerhaven on the Florida Highway. It leaves from Southampton on the 27th.

Needless to say, all this conflicting info has me boggled. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of discontinuity in information?

Thanks!

Know what you mean, I've been tracking my R58 for the last few days

and then it disappeared!! I thought the damn thing sunk somewhere in

the north atlantic but now it is getting to dock at the Baltimore port.

Try going to www.marinetraffic.com it will show you exactly where the

ship is. Best of luck!

Thanks, minirab.

I guess to say it a bit more succintly, I don't know the name of the boat she's on. Neither K Line or WW had a boat leaving Southampton yesterday, January 25th. (Would it leave from any other port? )

The Owner's Lounge did update today to say it's en route, though.

Thanks, rdez79

My MA has been helpful with some things - like helping me track down something I was looking for. However, getting info on my car from him has been a bit more tasky.

I guess this has all been a result of me having ants in my pants waiting on her to get here, and trying to be self-sufficient without going to him at every turn.

At any rate, he did get back with me today. She's on the K-Line as of the 20th, and will get to Georgia about February 3rd. So hurray for that!

At any rate - thanks, you guys, for responding. I really do appreciate it.
