That's a beauty as well. Picking mine up later this morning. Are you getting full PPF done ?

Looks like Lake Geneva is going to have to dodge Hurricane Ernesto. 😬

both vessel finder and marine traffic note that Lake Geneva's current recorded destination is Jacksonville. The last GPS coordinates (marineTraffic) are consistent with that route, but the most recent data update was almost two days ago. As of today at 12:10 PST, TYD "inspected" coordinates, which appear dynamic, show its position south (well south of JAX), towards St. Marta (or the Panama Canal?). As noted prior (I think), the JAX port expected arrivals for the next couple of weeks do not list Lake Geneva. Lake Geneva did go from Emden to Bremerhaven, which was not indicated on the "TYD map car position"; I did not check the inspect GPS coordinates to see if they matched Bremerhaven.
If the curiosity becomes to much to bear, I will need to bite the bullet and pay for a current location, at least I would know whether or not the inspect data are consistent with marineTraffic's.

Glovis doesn’t seem to serve Jacksonville on this shipping line, so it’s a bit odd (seems just their US East -> Africa line).

Helpful update. Mine should be dropped off in San Diego as well whenever it docks.
How long is it taking to unload and get cars to dealers?
(Also, is anyone else wondering how these workers are revving the manual cars? Probably professionals accountable to the shipping company and have seen nicer cars though)

Lake Geneva pulled in audible, skipped Jacksonville and now sitting at port in Brunswick.

TYD location is inaccurate / disagree with vessel finder in my experience (start of the journey they entirely disagreed and showed the ship at sea while it was docked). The PDF linked is from the shipping company’s schedule, which shows 9/2 in San Diego, not sure what else we should use as authoritative?

As for the TYD GPS coordinate data (from "inspect" current location data), it appears clear that it is not anywhere close to where the boat actually is, nor is the map/car diagram. Why those GPS coordinate data changes dynamically is odd, perhaps related to matching the car/map.
I do believe though that the inspect data that identifies the ship that the car is on is accurate. I will hang my hat on following the updates from both of those websites (VF, MT), knowing that it will get here when it does.
