So are they just "doing donuts" until their spot to enter the Panama canal opens up? Looks like they have a bunch of other waiting ships as company.

It certainly looked like that.. I'm wondering what is happening right now.. from the looks of it, they gained speed (those donuts were done with a whopping speed of 1-3kts), they're currently doing 12 kts, and they seem to go towards the entrance of the canal...
Hmmm... would be cool if I catch the ship on the webcam =) Edit: would this be it? Quote:
Edit3: yep, we're at the canal: Quote:

Here's a live webcam picture of our ship in the Panama Canal in the first locks:
Amazing to think our cars on it

Just checked MarineTraffic.com! Tortugas is almost to the Pacific Ocean...I would say another 45 minutes! Then on to the home stretch!
I already talked to my CA today and he is going to set me up with a loaner car until my new car arrives. My current E90 lease is up on the 23rd and I probably wont have my F30 until the 26th or 27th. Also I did the UltimateDrive app on my Droid and got the $300.00 voucher discount off of my first payment. Full steam ahead Tortugas! |

Don't they extend it for the time being until you have your new car? That is what my dealer offered me, if I get a new car, either financed, leased or paid in cash, they would extend the lease with a max of 3 months so I wouldn't have to be without car

Yes they will allow me to exend but that also would mean I would have to renew my vehicle tags, approx $500.00. So I will take a complimentary loaner instead...

I have to renew my registration ($452) March 31st while my lease ends April 7 so I decided I would return the car back before the end of the month. The car will be here around the same time, maybe a 6-7 day wait in total but I don't expect it to take much longer. But, unlike you, I have to figure this one out myself.. my dealership has a hard time doing loaners, serious down side imo.

Thanks for all the "Turtles" info!
Hope you don't mind a 5-series interloper also currently hitchhiking a ride on the back of Turtles. (I did have a 325i once upon a time!) The banter in this thread is hysterical! I was obsessively tracking Turtles at 1am last night when I discovered this thread, and I started laughing so hard I awakened my hubby, ambien notwithstanding. Glad I'm to see there are others more obsessed than I am!
Ordered my 535GT on 12/10/11, but had to wait 2 months before it started production (there was an inexplicable 3-week delay, suspiciously knocking me out of the running for the $1000 December incentive). *UGH!* After my baby finally arrives in Port Hueneme, I'll have additional ~6 days' wait until it appears at my dealership in Scottsdale. Thanks for the cool play-by-play (loved the webcam shots of the Panama Canal), not to mention the comic relief, during my interminable wait! |

She probably submerged again, turtles seem to do that ever now and then
The Green Bay seems to keep their tracking on only so we have less risk for pirates
