I'm interested to see how fast the car gets to my dealer in NC now that Audi has moved their SE US port to Jacksonville, FL from Brunswick, GA. My new car should be on one of the first few cars into the Jacksonville port.

In other news, I'm planning to abuse the 2016 S6 I'm in now a little bit tomorrow. I'm going to put a few tics on the launch control counter since I have an early am appointment. Don't know if I can get a good enough cell video but I'll try.

Yes, the Green Bay is running almost 2 and 1/2 days late. It's probably because of the large ocean storm earlier this week in the North Atlantic.

It probably took a course more to the south. I don't have access to the vessel tracking service once it leaves the coast. I just have to wait until in poops up again on the map SE of Nantucket Is, MA. If anyone else has full ocean tracking we would appreciate a tracking report on the Green Bay.

It will be interesting when the Goodwood shows up again on the map because it entered the "black zone" 2 and 1/2 days behind the Green Bay. The Goodwood has an estimated arrival today (Sat) at 11:30am at Davisville.

I checked the marine news on vesselfinder.com and there is nothing on the Green Bay (no news is good news).

I just checked with the port of Davisville and the Green Bay is now expected on Apr 26 (Sun) at 11:30pm and the Goodwood is expected on Monday morning.

Wow, thanks for the update! I've been checking daily for updates at VesselFinder and MarineTraffic.

Spoke too soon...received the AoA email today. It should be ~10 days or so at this point!

Default Green Bay near Davisville

The Greenbay just showed up on marinetraffic.com at 5am Sun (Apr26) south of Nantucket Is, MA.

The Goodwood is now also expected today but is not yet into view.

So now you can just watch them until they finally dock at whatever time today.

So, I have been considering buying an S7 off the lot. It's pretty sweet and here.

I have a cross country trip planned to help a friend move in the beginning of June and with these push backs it appears I might miss that deadline.

The Miata won't cut it for that trip unless my buddy only has a few boxes.

People's gut reaction? I am currently in Houston on May 14th, though I have no confirmation that my car is even loaded. And I can't expect the shipping and transit folks to really bust their hump around Memorial Day.
