My car shipped out on the Florida Highway yesterday and is now in the Atlantic on the way to Baltimore. ETA to Charleston is for March 8. YAY!!!

Looks like the Turandot has been delayed by a day.
Patience is a virtue I guess.

MPower,
Quit wasting time at work tracking the Fedora! Do you have the web cam page for the Gatun Lock open too?

I've got both rolling... though they better kick this boat into gear else I won't be able to see it via the webcam at night!

MPower,
Well, the Fedora dodged the pirates and made it through the last lock today. Here's the video of the Fedora passing through the Miraflores Lock captured on their web cam:


Should be in Point Huneme on Wednesday!

Sure hope this doesn't happen to your ship ;-)

SAVIOR!

I was literally watching it throughout the morning yesterday and just as the boat neared the locks, I got thrown into an hour long meeting. IIRC, I stepped out at 12... Fedora entered the locks around 12:45... and I got back at 1... Perfect.

I can't find the fedora on that ship map thing.

Damn Pirates!!!

It is probably off shore far enough that it is not giving updates.

[Hondamxracer51]

Lol

There are reports of pirates driving around in new BMWs. Here is a picture smuggled out of Honduras:

ha ha you better pay the ransom!

Ok Fedora fans!!! Ida Larsson and the Fedora are back on marinetraffic.com. They're currently off the coast of Baja moving at 16 knots.

Once your ship comes in that's not the end of the story.
Mine's been on the dock in NY since last week and I don't have it yet.
I WANT MY CAR!!!

[mdputnam]

ejm,
The good news is your car is here! The Sun Newspaper reports that there was a little problem on the boat:



However, we just received word, the minor shipping damage will be repaired soon:

[ejm3]

Ha ha where do you find this stuff.

Man I'm so impatient!! Soooooooooooo hoping for a fast unloading but I guess I should ready myself for the wait ejm3 is having to go through...

[ejm3]

I'm going to talk to someone at the 800 number today and see if they can give me a time estimate of when it will be at the dealer. I'm becoming very impatient!!!

Edit:
I spoke with very nice guy named "Logan" at BMWNA and he said once the vehicle leaves production they really have no more visibility to it and you need to deal with your CA, which in my case isn't very helpful.
