Haha I’d be embarrassed if there was a metric out there that measured the amount of time I’ve spent thinking about this process.

Looks like the ship is making some good time.

ETA has dropped from 1/31 to 1/29 already. Let hope we can shave another day or three off if that, even.

Agreed. Still has the ETA set for 1/29, but if it keeps going at its current rate, I think 1/26 is very possible.

That said, I don’t know how big of a bottleneck exists in Baltimore. There may be a queue of ships waiting for their turn to unload.

Getting close! If this were a plane trip, the attendants would be telling passengers to turn of mobile devices and put traytables and seats in the upright and locked positions!

Looks like there’s some kind of traffic jam
to get into the bay.
Let’s hope that gets cleared up pretty quickly.

Now just hope we all have a smooth and quick transfer to a truck.

Sidenote: Does the MyGarage status change back to “At Port” when we get unloaded, then back to “In Transit” once the truck heads out?

I keep getting different answers on that.

I am curious of some of the logistics myself. Does Genius have a good idea on the happenings from here on out as well?

Just got off the phone with Genius. Apparently, they haven no idea the status of the vehicle as of right now. They should have been unloaded and waiting to be processed by VPC. They suggest we call back tomorrow to see if there's any update! Can't wait!
