Ugh, good point, Kevin. I hope we don't have to wait until Monday the 30th before they even start offloading the ship!

OL is always going to be slow and lagging in current info. Calling the automated 866-ASK-MINI line will give you more up-to-date info, and your MA can often get even more current info.

I saw, in fact it hasn't popped up a tracking blip on the radar since early on the 19th, and now it's already the 21st. No word on sailwx or WW's website. I really wonder what's up.
Weather looks okay around the Nova Scotia area, where it was last tracked. I feel like I'm watching my grandfather sail through the Bermuda Triangle or something. Sigh.
Edit: VVVV That's fishy too.

Spoke with the Sales Manager. My MINI was released to the carrier (from VDC) a few days ago. He seemed surprised it wasn't there yet. He said it should arrive "any day now, probably Monday or Tuesday." Then it takes a day for them to inspect it and give it a once over. He didn't mention it, but they also need to install the driving lights.
I leave town around 1pm on Wednesday, so at this point, I figure I won't see my MINI until I get back November 30.

VPC should be busy processing our MINI's on Monday. I would hope that we have them on trucks to the dealers by Wednesday or Thursday. Dealer prep for a day - hopefully. I am hoping for a Dec. 6 or 7 pickup. Keep your fingers crossed.

MANON is just on the coast of Long Island now, it should be entering the harbor and most likely docking tonight/tomorrow, based on the current lat/longitude on Sailwx. Awesome.
I'm so close to the water in brooklyn, I could probably take pictures as it chugs through the bay... but I won't, because I'm not THAT desperate.

PICK-UP TOMORROW AT 5PM!
OK, it was a very frustrating and painful experience, but I can finally tell you that I'll be taking delivery of my MINI tomorrow at 5PM ET.
I'm quite disappointed with my dealer so far. One can only hope the service department is stronger than the sales side.
It turned out that my poor MINI was sitting on the lot, no work order entered to get him ready for delivery! Luckily, I was finally transferred to the Finance Manager who tracked him (my MINI) down, realized he was THERE, entered the service order to prepare him for delivery, and setup my appointment for pick-up tomorrow evening.
I'm exhausted... but still excited!
