You had been sitting at Bremerhaven for a while. What ship are you on and when does it dock into Port Hueneme?

Happy to have you in this one too! There are not that many of us with cars going through the system at this time, so I have been reading Weeks 6-9 and commenting.

Is that date arrival at US port or to your dealer? That's a long time. Didn't think it was more then 4 weeks..

Yep, all the way through March 11 when the Viking Queen arrives into California, I will have to bide my time by indulging my food obsessed dog!

It really varies on time. My car made it to the port around Feb 15, got on a ship on Feb 18 and is going to make it to California on March 11. With so few boats to the west coast, I have seen others have to wait a few weeks…not sure how I got lucky!

Glad you got on a ship so quickly! You're giving me hope that I will be on the water shortly as well!

I hope you do too! Are you prepared though to then watch paint dry as the ship makes it way to California?

Once it passed the Dominican Republic, it started to feel much more tangible!

The map screenshots are from the MarineTraffic website - there is an iPhone app too, but it does not look as nice. I got a free 7 day trial of satellite tracking and then paid for one month of tracking service after that.

BMW Genius said my car should make it to California on March 11, so we should get our cars around the same time.
