Tortugas - anyone else?

It's official, today my car was loaded on the Tortugas in Bremerhaven. It is scheduled to depart today and make 3 stops before getting to NY on July 6.

Is anyone else on the Tortugas? Bon Voyage!

I bet you can hardly wait to re-unite with your F30 after having driven it Germany ? Bon voyage, 320i !!!
Your car must have just missed being loaded on MV Titania.

Titania left Bremerhaven with my 328dXT and many friends on June 15th, ETA Halifax June 27th. This enormous ship can carry up to 7800 vehicles !!!

I think my 340i is one of those friends...

Yep, just missed it. The Titania left BRV on the 15th, and my car was received at terminal on the 17th. If I had made that boat I would have saved 7 days, but I guess I was lucky there was another boat leaving just 4 days after my car arrived to the port.

So just 9 days to cross the Atlantic? Seemed like longer when I tracked my last one in '09.

Yep, I'm excited. I was very happy with my build.

Our cars will have had an interesting 'cruise' together, having visited Gothenburg, Zeebrugge and Southhampton before crossing the Atlantic

Since you are in NC, it is likely that your 340i will be offloaded in Charleston, SC.
Hope your 340i arrives in perfect condition !

Thanks, yours too! I'm actually taking delivery at the performance center but I think it still gets offloaded at Charleston to get there.
