Found out today my 550i shipped saturday 4/23 aboard The Martorell.

Anyone else here aboard with me?

Currently 4 days into her 26 day journey to Port Hueneme, due on 5/19.

If this sticks, figure 3 days max Oxnard VPC, 1 day to San Diego, 1 day prep @ dealer, should take delivery on or around 5/24.

Total duration from order to delivery estimated 6 weeks, 3 days

Hoping that SAILWX and Marine Traffic websites get updated info, keep me abreast of Martorell's progress.

Keep telling myself not to obsess....it will be here soon enough!

nice, congrats...I found marine traffic to be more up to date than sailwx...but then again, once your vessel gets out to deep water she goes off the grid until the panama canal..

if you are lucky, you can catch your vessel going thru the canal via: http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/camera-java.html

I was able to get a few shots of my last order going thru the canal: https://5series.net/forums/topic/104...st__p__1300924

hope the wait goes by fast for you
