So gskudlarick, even though you're in Chicago, is your car on this boat headed for San Diego? I would have thought a southern or eastern port would have been a shorter route.

Very astute. After a long search I found an allocation over the summer in CA and jumped on it. Glad I did! I was born there and plan to move back after I unload some stuff here in Chicago anyways. ... But timing is off by about 6 mos so I'll just have it shipped out here.

My wife rolls her eyes every time I refresh marinetraffic.com and show her the progress....believe me, if it were a Birkin's progress from Hermes to the boutique, she would be interested...

Happy New Year to you all.

Looks like the Lyra Leader should arrive in San Diego today! Says 6 more hours to port (if I am reading it correctly). Pretty cool.

I agree! Looks like she can't be much more than 150km now from San Diego.

Let's hope those stevedores aren't hung over from last night and are working the Holiday!

My wife suggested the same thing (in her case somewhat sarcastically, I might add...

)

If I thought it would speed things up, I might!

Update: Porsche tracking sheet says POI is San Diego but ship is directly west of SD and still headed north. Destination on ship tracking web site suggests Long Beach. Maybe captain is planning delivery direct to NorCal ( sorry SoCal folks) or....pirates!

Mike, my car is on the same boat as yours, Lyra Leader. You will get yours before I get mine. Mine is supposed to arrive in Bellevue, WA on Jan. 17. the other issue is, I'm in Hawaii until Feb.20. I'm trying to be patient.
