I must have - YaYYY!! But I think this one is the California Highway?

My VIN's still not showing up on WW at all and my CM has been at the port since the 22nd. Using your partial VIN trick, I'm not seeing any CMs on WW to Brunswick.

My MA thought that he'd have some info this week so maybe I'll hear from him Fri or Sat.

Sheesh, I wish K-Line would get their technology up to speed!

Yes, Cali Hwy, sorry about that. I think they may have loaded the boat at night as I don't see any pics of it durring the day with much activity.

I do see the Ariana just dropped the loading ramping, and within about 5 minutes I got a pic of 3 CMs crossing the bridge.

I know you'll be underway soon!!

My ship is supposed to dock today but after a voyage of regular updates, it has stopped reporting it's location. It's been 65 NM off the coast of Norfolk since dinner time last night. Sigh.

It's gonna be a long weekend.....

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know about this other boat tracking site, it seems to do a better job at tracking the boat.

http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/

I was using sailwx but it barely had any postion updates on the Florida Highway as I was tracking it.

Very clever, Camminich, of using the partial VINs! After 1 solid week of "No records found" it was nice to see some information on the screen, even if it wasn't for my Mini. Ugh! Mine was completed last week Friday but the OL still says "awaiting transport." My CM should be at Bremerhaven and should be loaded on the Toronto which arrives there on Sunday. When will my VIN be entered in their system? The day it loads???

Went to Google maps! I can actually see the ship with the ramp down! They are unloading!!! This is so freaking awesome!!!

Hurley, it took a while for mine to show. I think it was docked in Southampton when it finally updated so it'd been onboard for a day or so at that point.

Congrats to you! It is so cool that you can watch them unloading!

Thanks for the info about the updating. I can stop panicking.

This is what I've been watching since last night. I am totally MESMERIZED!! I have accomplished NOTHING today, LOL! I have it playing on my teevee.

BTW, TrueEddie, it is thanks to you that I figured out that I'd be on a K-Line ship. As you said, "There can be no other explanation."

Cali Highway, due in Brunswick on 7/14!

Thanks, LM. Now the ship has moved across the harbor and is moored there. Interesting. Rows of long buildings there. Perfect spot for a VDC....

The Toronto is about to dock in Bremerhaven! Is anyone else watching for their R60 to be loaded?

I have been, seen a few on the camera, but nothing on the logs. In the last four days I have seen three ships out, Integrity, Aniara, and Manon. Can only find two MCCMS that have made it on any boat. I am just very hope the logs are not getting updated.

Congrats Justmenmymini! Very exciting!!!

Camminich, I hope you're right about the logs not getting updated. Both of our cars were finished about the same time so I assume they are both at the dock waiting to be loaded. My VIN still doesn't show up, does yours?

Excellent! The garage must be prepped. I've still got a month for all the preparations.

Hurley, if you think watching the port webcam is addictive, just wait til your ship is underway. The AIS tracking is impossible to walk away from!


camminich - is your port of entry Baltimore? Do you have a feel for what your ship is yet?


I'm going on gut feelings that my MINI is on the Cali Hwy. I have no confirmation of any kind, I just KNOW it, LOL!

We knew our was on the Indpendence II thinking it was just too ironic that it would arrive on 4th of July weekend. Should have named the thing Sam...or George....something patriotic! LOL

LM, just watching the ship dock was so exciting!! I only hope to get a glimpse of my baby being loaded before nightfall.
I sure hope yours is indeed on the Cali Hwy!

I hope you saved some screen shots for your MINI's baby book. I did.
