Following the 'Turtles' (Tortugas)

She's back on radar.

svache · 03-21-2012, 04:03 AM

LOL that's funny, I just looked myself as well xD

You should scroll a bit further up, you can actually get Oxnard and the ship on one screen.. it really is it's last stretch.. I'm guessing about 450 more miles, if it keeps 17kts as average speed, it will be there in about 26 hours 28 minutes (give or take lol) so it will be the 22nd I think

When is your ETA svache?

The ETA in California is March 22, Matson has ships leaving to Hawaii on March 24, 28 and the 31st, I doubt I'll be on the one from March 24 but the 28th is possible and 31st also, depending on customs and the VPC. If I am on the 28th or 31st, then I should be arriving on April 1st or 4th in Honolulu and delivery day will be two days later about. So I'm guessing the first week of April

If I do make it to the ship leaving on the 24th, then I might still get a March delivery but I doubt that will happen lol

yerffejleahcim · 03-21-2012, 05:04 AM

Man, i am excited for you! Thats so close already! I didn't know it only takes about 5 days to get to Honolulu.

Post pictures when you pick it up.

svache · 03-21-2012, 05:26 AM

Yeah I was surprised as well when I found out, it only takes 4 days on average to get here... makes you wonder why sometimes the delivery times are soooo long with certain things

And no prob, will post pics for sure

Have to say I am really excited for you Svache and I doubt I am alone! It's been a truly epic journey, you should think about film rights!!

Not long to go...

Haha film rights, yeah I think it would even make for an interesting story if we add everything that we mentioned here

Yeah it's going faster than I thought, it could be at the port in 12 hours but.. of course.. that is night time so give it a couple of more and it will be unloading =)

bl@ster · 03-21-2012, 07:17 PM

0mg, Svachey, fellow shipmates -- we're closing in on Oxnard!

svache · 03-21-2012, 09:37 PM

najammin · 03-21-2012, 11:15 PM

crossed the border....tortugas is in cali!!!

EF30 · 03-21-2012, 11:29 PM

So I just emptied out my E90 tonight, turning it in tomorrow night at the dealership. Then hopefully Tortugas unloads quickly and I can take delivery on Sat night! fingers are crossed...someone deliver the crew at Port Hueneme a red bull!

svache · 03-22-2012, 12:22 AM

omfg it's off the radar again

Curse you MacAttackBMW for this http://www.f30post.com/forums/showpo...63&postcount=5 you jinxed our ship!

Or perhaps those pirates are still on board? Kinda looks like it when I see bl@ster's picture

edit: or perhaps it realized my car has to be brought to Hawaii... hmm.. but then... uhoh..

svache · 03-22-2012, 12:28 AM

Never mind.. they're playing with the tracking device again...

I bet someone has been paid by MacAttackBMW to do this

najammin · 03-22-2012, 02:28 AM

looks like there's 3 ships arriving at the port; one is already docked, and Tortugas is in a race with Dresden to dock 2nd....i wonder who will win lol

lol that's pretty funny, they're about the same distance away from the port indeed xD

edit: the Dresden is sailing with 12.8 knots right now, the Tortugas with 17.4 knots... this could be a really weird story of the turtle and the rabbit lol

svache · 03-22-2012, 04:19 AM

Hmm it seems my first available connection left San Francisco tonight and is headed to Long Beach... arrival date is the 23rd, so I highly doubt that will be it.. guess it will be the 28th when I leave (I hope lol)

bl@ster · 03-22-2012, 01:15 PM

0h my gawd! We arrived in port!

najammin · 03-22-2012, 02:13 PM

Almost there!! I think these last few days are going to be the longest! There's no way to track the transit from VDC to dealer! =(

bananachipz · 03-22-2012, 02:26 PM

Wouldn't it be "funny" if you made a mistake and your car *wasn't* on the Tortugas..... don't hate.. just sayin'...

Don't mind me.. I'm just jealous...
