FYI, the ship just resurfaced somewhere off the coast of Acapulco. Five days left to get to Point Hueneme and then another handful of days to pass through Long Beach and San Diego.
Getting close.

I'm beginning to think it will only stop in Hueneme. I've been looking at the vessel schedules at both Long Beach and San Diego ports, and to date neither of them show the ship on their sites. Is it possible that the European delivery cars are handled differently than 'normal' cars? It's my understanding that Porsche only delivers new cars via a single company in San Deigo (at least on the west coast). Perhaps since these are technically used cars they do not follow the same process.
Does anyone know for sure?

Oh dip! Update time:
The ship has already left Point Hueneme, which seems really fast. Its destination is listed as San Diego (yay), but its ETA is listed as the evening of 9/18. It won't take it 4 days to travel 200 miles, which probably means it's making a stop in Long Beach on the way, but it's odd that its destination says something else.

I've been looking at least twice per day at the schedule for the port of Long Beach and it never shows the Jupiter Leader as stopping there. Agree that it must be stopping somewhere. Otherwise it might be just sitting in the SD harbor, waiting for a berth.
