I can't find where to input my Vin on the jocsailings.com site. Can you help provide a link? Thanks Greg.

Not familiar with jocsailings site, but here's the W&W site which operates the most likely boat:

https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...uickSearchPage

Sometimes the link doesn't work so well, so if it doesn't, go to Customer Centre at the top and then you want track & trace, pop in your full vin into the cargo ID and see if it's there.

Call or e-mail your dealer to get the expected arrival date at the port and then you'll be able to figure out if that's the boat you're on. Or, it may show up on there in the next day or two.

Mineral grey for life!

It's on the boat! Name of vessel is PLEIADES LEADER

Left the port on 4/11 - estimated travel time is 29 days so figure mid-May I'll have it!

Congrats!

Pleiades is quite popular in LA too and very trendy! Ha! You can live vicariously through my mineral grey pics soon to hold you over perhaps...if it ever gets here.

The schedule shows a May 10th arrival date! Are these schedule dates fairly accurate?

Ya, they're pretty accurate within a day or two. For a point of reference though, our boat initially was slated for April 17 arrival, but after taking forever to make it through the Panama Canal, it moved back to April 19. Probably unlikely they are ever EARLY by more than a few hours, and worst case scenario is probably a day or two later maybe.

My dealer is also saying they are typically receiving them 3-4 days after they hit the port.

I envy you. I ordered mine on Saturday and this was the first time I built a car instead of picking one from the inventory. I thought waiting would be no big deal, but now I am thinking 8 weeks is waaaay too long Nonetheless, I am pretty excited and will try to be patient.

You should be excited!

My car finished its pass-through out of the Panama Canal on Sunday. It's off the map tracking site (http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shi...mmsi=432734000) since Monday but I hope we're still on schedule if not better by a day or so!

Here's to hoping May rates are better than March or April (not that they were bad, but might as well wish they were).
