My CMS is on that same maiden voyage! Sucks though, because I have to wait another couple of weeks for it to arrive in Hawaii!

Looks like Tombarra is ahead of schedule. She will probably be docked in the morning, or offloaded!

Looks like Tombarra is taking the scenic route near Catalina Island. Bad mini's for partying too much and encouraging the captain.

Thanks for the update Winston. I stopped watching it every day and boom, they somehow gained two days. (Woot! for El Nino ocean currents!)

Looks like the cars are though customs already. (At least that's what I assume "CUSTOMS RELEASE" means.)


The bad news is, now it might be ready and waiting before my scheduled days off.

Whoo hooo! Where did you see 'CUSTOMS RELEASE?' also, does anyone know if we can track our babies once they are on a truck?

Very cool...it's good to know there is actually someone else along for the ride!

Will your CMS stay on the same ship or do they offload at the VDC and then reload onto another vessel?

Awesome! I checked Winston too and it says the same thing. I never knew you were onboard with Winston and a few others in here. Where have you been the past 3 weeks while we were cracking jokes, eating popcorn, drinking beer and singing sea songs? lol

It was too painful to check daily (actually multiple tmes a day) and not see progress. Instead, I filled the hours researching the known issues and possible upgrades.

Plus, I don't drink; which seems to be a necessary component of enjoying sea shanties.

it's been great looking at this thread during my painful wait... but that wait is soon over. Going to pick up at 5pm so no more stalking ships, harrassing my MA or calling 800 ASK-MINI for me.

I'll still come in and provide morale support for those still waiting if needed

Nope. Her track was too far over the horizon, but if I had been on San Clemente Island, I'd have seen her for sure.

Just came back from my MINI dealer after picking up my MCS getting serviced. My MA says I may be able to take delivery tomorrow! That was a welcome surprise.

I believe they get offloaded at VDC first, go through its check, and then reloaded to another ship bound for Hawaii…
