Yeah, my wife kept kidding me about the Bermuda Triangle. Scheduled ETA for the canal is 0630 on 12/24. My Porsche tracking schedule says San Diego on 1/3 but am hoping to get a more precise timing from the vessel tracker after it clears Panama.

There are several sites. I'm using www.marinetraffic.com. Search the name of the ship and it gives you position on the map, heading, speed, ETA to port etc. Info is from land based tracking antennas (no satellite tracking for free) so it's been 5 days since it left area of the Azores and showed up in the Caribbean. Kind of fun to follow the movement, actually...

silverrules, it definitely is. I keep thinking about the old joke where the captain of the slave galley decides he wants to water ski. Maybe he'll force those bastards to row faster!

17.5 knots is hauling doing good for those big ships!

Just arrived houston I've been in contact with Leon at north houston Porsche about the delivery they have been expecting no show yet he thinks early next week. I really want to see this car I'll take pics if I do and post them. I guess they are adding two days two my build for a custom order I made but they only charged me $104 + 2 days. If I thought my car was on ship close by I'd swim out to meet it!

So this is your car. I've been bugging them to let me know when it comes in so I can see it. Mine on order is also white with red stitching. Let us know when it gets there. Would like to go see it.
