First of the Miraflores locks as we speak.

 

Love it. Not too long now and it will be on the Pacific side of the Panama Canal and turning to head North to San Diego.

 

The Glorious Express is at 16 knots and picking up speed. Soon it will be heading North and then out of range until it gets up along the coast of Baja California past La Paz.

 

Let's hope the captain isn't named Francesco Schettino

 

My Cayenne just got to SD on March 30, on the ship Green Bay. If she does what my ship did, she'll pass by SD on her way to Long Beach. Then go back to SD a few days later. Bummer, as I thought was ahead of schedule but for some reason, LA is first...

Let's hope that that's not the case! At least this link here shows a voyage for her leaving Port Hueneme for South Korea on the 11th. Not sure how reliable this info is, though. On the other hand, SDMIS still list her as arriving on the 13th with a last port of Long Beach, which would be in line with your experience.

Or, worse, maybe she's heading to Port Hueneme FIRST, then leaves there on the 11th, goes Long Beach and only THEN San Diego?

 

I was driving home the other day and I saw 2 brand new Cayenne's on a truck, wrapped up in those white stickers and stuff. I wonder how long it takes for them to get to Canada.

 

My V6 is on the Harmony Leader. It was slated to get in to san diego on the 6th but now seems to be delayed by 3 days. April 9th is the date. I live in Northern California, so the dealer said it will take another 7 days from that to get to them.

Does anyone else have a car in Harmony Leader?

 

Can take 7 days, but usually quicker if you are in a major market. They send the car carrier as soon as it is full. My car is going to the pacific northwest. Will be there in < 3 days once the carrier leaves.

 

According to the http://www.sdmis.org/schedule/, the Glorious Express will stop in Long Beach before docking in San Diego on April 13th. This also confirms the Harmony Leader arriving on the 9th.

 

http://www.portofhueneme.org/documen...l_schedule.pdf shows her in Port Hueneme on the 11th (as of the 3/22). And extrapolating from her last position, she should be now well into 750nm out of the 2840nm voyage to San Diego. Dividing the remaining 2090 miles by 400nm per day gives only 5 days remaining until San Diego, i.e. 4/9 in the afternoon. So perhaps she is going San Diego (4/9), Long Beach (4/10), Port Hueneme (4/11) instead of Port Hueneme (4/11), Long Beach (4/12), San Diego (4/13)? Although the (sparse) online evidence points to the latter...

 

It sure looks like the Glorious Express will be dropping vehicles off at Long Beach, Oxnard (Port Hueneme) and San Diego before leaving the West Coast. The paperwork that I have for my vehicle shows the arrival port to be San Diego. Although the dealer assures me that it is worse case scenario, the latest information says that my vehicle is scheduled to be "Released to Carrier" on 4/24 and "Dealer Delivered" is the "Week of 4/30". Interestingly enough, the two BMWs that I have ordered in years past have both arrived at Port Hueneme.

 

I've tracked two ships for vehicles in the past and they both went to Hueneme then Long Beach then San Diego. Could be different for this one but that would be an atypical pattern. Sorry for the bad news.

Good news for me was that my vehicle was at my dealer and ready to be picked up about 6 days later.

 

Sounds good to me. It seems they spend about a day in each port on the way to San Diego. I expect she will be in Port Hueneme on the 11th, Long Beach on the 12th and reach San Diego on the 13th as scheduled.

 

My dealer just confirmed vessel arrival (probably unloaded) on 4/15, then 7 days to arrive at the shop, then 1-2 days for inspection & detailing ~= 4/26 ± a few. We'll survive, I guess.
