I’m probably not on this boat. Will be on one of the next 2 and then PEC-ATL delivery. We can meet up soon once we both have our cars.

We just rounded Punta Delgada (Azores). Not too sure if she took on fuel or not but we got a good ground location. On to Baltimore!

Supposed to arrive in Baltimore late tonight or tomorrow morning but the major vessel trackers still have it listed near the Azores...

I've been watching too. The AIS they use for free is all ground based, so within 50-70 miles ( I think) from land it will pick up another signal and update. That's why it was updating by the Azores -- land based AIS. Of course, I may just be talking out of my @ss, but I think this is the way it works

Interesting behavior.... As the ship turns north towards Baltimore, TYD "Distance to Porsche Center" is going up as it moves away from Sarasota, FL.. This means that they are using some flavor of "as the crow flies" to get the "Distance to Porsche Center" instead of the actual miles travelled.

The person that built this took the easy way out by [most probably] calculating the distance-over-a-sphere: lat/lon to lat/lon.

I have a GT4 on this boat as well. Impatiently tracking... My estimate was a 12/11 delivery. Really hoping I can get it from the dealer around the 4th since I'm a Jax drop off.

You got it. If you want to track by satellite, you have to pay.

JaxPort is still showing 11/28 6:30am ETA. I'm hoping for an early arrival too. Not too sure if port processing will be same day or later. My TYD has shown both over time.

Here is the jaxPort link if you need it: JaxPort

She's left Baltimore and we're on the way to JaxPort. Just a few more days.

Wonder how many cars came off in Baltimore. Was not moored for to long. Mine was one of them TYD updates location of boat but does not have my car processing. When my cousin bought his Targa a few years ago it was unloaded in Jacksonville and then shipped to PA.

My research shows that they stay in port for an average of 12 hours. I bet your TYD will catch up soon and CONGRATS on the new car!

I sure hope that's the case! My baby is sitting in Baltimore as well and TYD is still saying On Vessel.

Isn't there some way to see the manifest to see the number of each type of car that was offloaded? I've seen other people post this, but not sure where to find it.
