I just found out today that my car is also on the Aquarius Leader! I was just in Panama, so I missed the boat by just a few weeks.

I hope it gets here early, although my dealer said that the cars were running 4-5 days behind

[jwarea80]

Cool. I think it'll be delayed. It's been anchored for a few days now. That was the ship's status as of 12-9-06.

This makes three. At least my baby has some company. Dealer told me just a minute ago that it is delayed until 12/30. Perfect! On vacation from the 26th to the 6th and come back in time for delivery.

No pictures?

[jwarea80]

pictures of...?

[e92law]

You...No....The loading of the ship, ship in transit, all that crap the other threads have up.

This is a picture of the Aquarius Leader from a previous post.

BTW, as of now, the ship is still anchored.

[e92law]

Well, I fly down to South America next week; maybe I can get something going.

[antidentite]

That figures it's delayed. What a bummer. I wonder what the problem is?

Jware - can you tell if the Aquarius is still anchored?

[jwarea80]

Looks like it's still anchored. The info is from AISlive.com, but you need to sign up.

where do you guys get this info?

what do you ask the dealer and do they know what ship it is prior to completion? (my car is scheduled to be completed on thursday)

[douger]

I appreciate this site and all of the info you are providing!

Found this schedule with arrival times for Oxnard Port Hueneme

http://www.portofhueneme.org/port-news.php

[e92law]

So are we on schedule for the 30th still? What should we be looking at to get through the prep stage and on a truck to the dealer? I get home on the 6th and would love to pick up the car on the 7th. Possible?

[douger]

My CA said 7-10 days to delivery after port arrival. I would think it would be quicker for you in LA since you don't have to wait for a truck ride to Seattle.

[e92law]

Its a Christmas miracle! Ship hunters; how do we look on the arrival schedule? Now I'm getting excited. Especially with the Vishnu results just posted for Xede only.

[jwarea80]

It's moving again! Looks like it's right next to the panama canal.

I'm a little confused. Jwarea's post on 12/18 had information that said it was still anchored, yet it also said it was cruising at a speed of 14.5 knots. Also, the latitude and longitude have changed since the first aislive.com report that was posted.

I'm not quite sure how to read that, but I'm hoping it means that the ship is underway.

I'm no sailor, so I could be totally off. Or perhaps I just want my car to get here 'on time!'

[antidentite]

Excellent! Jwarea posted the great news just before I finished my post - glad to see the ship has been making progress!!!

Thanks for checking on this for us, Jwarea!
