I’m in the same boat, seems to really be moving, 16knts is hauling. Are you tracking via satellite? Vessel finder and Marine traffic only show when it’s within a few miles of port. I’ll be able to see it coming into San Diego bay.

currently Glovis Countless is awaiting to enter port

Mine is on that boat as well... I'll probable be the last to see my GT3, as I opted to have it delivered to Portland, Oregon.

It made it into port this morning - everyone expecting to get offloaded in San Diego - rejoice!

Maybe... My TTS gets trucked from Benicia to Seattle, so we'll have to race each other to see who picks up their new wheels from the dealership last!

yeah that’s about right, usually gets to SoCal dealers in about 7-10 days. Then PDI at the dealership so about 2 weeks from now for retail delivery.
mine goes directly to PECLA for pickup on March 13th.

Yeah it is, it’s dumping here in Coronado.

It’s a Chalk 3RS with aurum wheels and pccb. Yellow deviated stitching everywhere, yellow seat belts. Should be at PECLA in about a week.

Well, the San Diego roll-off is all wrapped up - I hope everyone receives their car (or cars) soon without any hiccups (or, gasp, port holds).

Now the Grand Venus is creeping along very slowly west of the Golden Gate, just a bit behind schedule - maybe there's some congestion at the port?

Anyone else expecting a car in Benicia? Tracking the Grand Venus multiple times a day like me?
