Thanks Jonathan...
I assume you have but in case you haven't, check out some of our many posts about tracking the vessel as it crosses the pond:

Also, take a look at a thread I created when my car was being built -- pay particular attention to post #9 which was JDN's final post before his passing...
https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=40876
During the time my ship was loading and getting ready to sail, I actually watched it via the webcams at the port:

Finally, Jonathan, I fully expect you to follow my lead and make a Google map that tracks the progress of your ship!
