Default Desperately Tracking the Fremantle Highway

My RS left Emden on the Fremantle Highway on 5/14 and pulls in to JAX on 5/30.

It's just plain old Lava Orange but I built it and it's MINE! I can't wait to get it, looks like 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. I'm just unbearably excited!

That is all...

Hard to explain how exciting it is to track your ship unless you have been through it.
Maybe a quick drive to Brunswick is in your future for a lucky first view.

I'm afraid if i went to Brunswick I'd never see it... Porsche uses Jacksonville now for Southeast dealers.

But yeah - this part is so damn fun!

My cousin is recently out of the navy and has a buddy on the Fremantle Highway. He said the engine trouble they experienced today is quite odd for a 2013 build, but they are having parts flown in via chopper on Friday. Should be able to get the main engine running again within 48 hours after the parts arrive. Sorry Sean...

She's made progress overnight, so it seems the chopper scott mentioned made it and they are back underway. They should be ashamed of the 10.8 knts they are running at though. Well below the 13 - 14 she's been averaging until today. Perhaps seas are heavy.

Which website is that? I've been using VesselFinder.com, but the last update was from 5/16. My C4 is on the Fremantle Highway also.

I have a paid subscription and can track it via satellite. I'll post an update here each morning. Glad to have found a shipmate! I use Fleetmon.


Also. It's headed to Halifax first and should land there Sunday. Let's assume out of port Tuesday and then into JAX Friday next week. One week from tomorrow if all goes well!

Thank you. I did European Delivery in April and I'm waiting impatiently for a reunion, of sorts, with the car.
