Virgo Leader is scheduled to transit the Panama Canal on the 10th of August. It's #5 in the line.

It arrives in Long Beach (interim stop) on the 18th, then on to San Diego on the 19th.

My new 997 is due into Baltimore, MD this week on the Rio Blanco. Is there a wayI can track this boat to see when it hits port. My dealer told me my car would originally be here last week so I am getting a little impatiant.

Dan -
I believe the ship that left today is called the "Valdez" or something like that. I heard that it used to carry oil and that it has a nearly perfect track record.
Good Luck!

Dave,--would you believe another guy got his car yesterday, up in the bay area,--and it was on the same ship!!

They're driving me nuts!

But then, no real rush,--I still have the floor in the 'nursery' to paint!

Dan...can we assume you're talking about the garage floor? Or are you thinking more like pink/blue nursery?

My 2007 Carrera S White/Cocoa leather is also on the Rio Blanco which is due in Baltimore this Tues. 8/29. Four long months. Hurray. Here is a pic of the ship.

Thats a serious boat Jay, look how far it is above the water line! Those the ones so big they can't go through the Panama canal?

Before you track it, you need to get it out of the water and fit some incredibly large wheels/tires... View from the bridge is limited so hitting the apex can be a chore...

Very funny. You forgot to add that there are no brakes so you just throw it in reverse and floor it.

Has anyone gotten their car on either the 08/26 or the 08/28 shipments that hit Brunswick this week. Just curious.
