That's my point, it's not on the PWL shipping schedule, yet is probably on a different Shipping Coordinators Schedule. It shows the port of Jacksonville as the US Destination.

My car carrier boat also goes from Emden to the Netherlands first. Must be cheap fuel and a good Wawa there.

(OK, and maybe a red light district and some vegetables for the long ride to USA)

Not to be an alarmist but SFL Conductor is now coming up as (Not Under Command), which I understand is a designation used to signal to other ships, to stand clear because of the potential for lack of maneuverability. Perhaps some temporary mechanical problems.

Recieved the additional pics this morning. So it was two days after build was complete. Happy to have hit the lottery on the tires as I do prefer Michelins. Wasn’t a huge deal but just a preference.

Good for you. Mine was completed on My 14th and yesterday arrive at port Emdent. But so far I've only got just 1 picture (painting).
I guess I will find out if I win the lottery Michelin tire at delivery time

Man. I got classic wheels also but got pirellis. Oh well. Hopefully I make the boat. The wait gets worse the closer it is! Didn't really care so much in February when I ordered.

Let’s hope for both of our sakes that we get on a boat soon! Our cars seem to be tracking at the same pace regarding build completion and transported to the port so there is a good chance you will have the Michelins installed as well.

It's not on anything. I'm still waiting. Won't be surprised if it updates to June something

Indeed something doesn't look right, it seems to be heading south - and drifting, because the speed is not right. Engine failure? How can both engines fail?

In comparison, the Supreme Ace is moving at 13 knots on a 270 degree heading - due west.

You two guys are a trip. I remember beating myself up a little bit because I checked that marine app several times a day every day as well as the Porsche app to see where I was. Reading you two guys comments makes me feel a lot better about myself and how I handled the whole situation. Thank you. :-)
