Sounds like you were on the Felicity Ace which arrived around 5pm on Wed. Takes a couple days to get released to the carrier. I would expect that to happen probably today and to your dealer by Wednesday or Thursday...

You could just drive up to Brunswick and do a midnight raid and grab her...

ASTERIA LEADER - Vehicles Carrier: current position and details | IMO 9531741, MMSI 432790000, Callsign 7JIC | Registered in Japan - AIS Marine Traffic

FLORIDA HIGHWAY - Vehicles Carrier: current position and details | IMO 9442861, MMSI 372805000, Callsign 3EPT6 | Registered in Panama - AIS Marine Traffic

I didnt catch the fact that you were in Canada before. Not sure if Owner in Waiting is available there or not.

Sounds like it wont be long till you have your new Audi!
How sweet would that be to get it before Xmas? Probably a long shot . I'll make sure to post on here when it arrives thanks for the info Don .

yes it was the Felicity Ace. Trust me the though of going up to Brunswick and scooping her up has crossed my mind. , i would imagine it should be at dealer any day now.

Well if yours was promised at thanksgiving and you still haven't got it yet chances are I'm in the same boat as you ( no pun intended). But I can always hope.

The boat was supposed to dock Monday. Now it's been sitting waiting for it's turn and Thursday is going to be the new day for unloading. This means no A3 before Christmas. Frustrating.
