June is here! No updates from sailwx right now, but it's still early. I applied for the AISLive membership a few days ago, but never heard back. Regardless I think we can check the WW site to make sure our cars were discharged to the VPC.

On other news, I actually saw TWO space gray e92 328is yesterday. This kinda surprised me since I rarely ever see e92s at all. I think it's a sign!

I also applied for AISLive a few days back, and nada back. Since the Liberty is a day ahead of schedule, I'm not so bothered by it. (I wonder whether it's common for the ships to get ahead like this?)

In other news from up here, I'm parked next to a black e92 335i today. It's a bit dirty for my taste, but it was fun to see it side-by-side with my TL.

Actually - I think there was an update, but you had to zoom out to see it. See below.

I think we should nominate the captain of the Liberty for whatever the highest shipping industry honor is. He's like the exact opposite of the Exxon Valdez captain.

Think our arrival time will updated again?

Oh, wow, nice! You're right, I like this captain, he's very prompt. He's got my vote!

Check out the distance traveled from yesterday to today. That's nothing compared to the distance left from here to the port. I don't wanna call it too soon, but I don't see any reason why it can't dock tomorrow! I'll be keeping a close eye on that firstnynj site as well as WW...

Any sense of what time zones the times in the SailWX site are based on?

According to SailWX:

Last reported at 2007-Jun-01 12:00 UTC. Time now 2007-Jun-01 14:54 UTC.
Position N 42°24', W 062°06'.


And doing a quick search on Google:

UTC = Coordinated Universal Time which is 4hrs ahead of EST.

Nice work. So, a report at "01-June 1200" is 8am eastern, which means she's got another 3.5 hours of progress under her belt that we can't see.

And our next update, based on yesterday's updates, may come around 2pm eastern.

Good point, we're coming along just fine!

Given its current coordinate of N 42.25 W 62.0, and an approximated coordinate for the port of N 41.0 W 74.0, she was approximately 1000km (625mi) from the port @ 12:00 UTC today.

Seeing how she was traveling roughly 15 knots (17.3mph), it would take 36hrs from 12:00 UTC, meaning she could potentially be there around 8PM Saturday night???

Maybe they can leverage your turbos and kick the speed up to 18mph.

Keep on chugging Liberty!!! The Port Authority still shows arrival at 4pm tomorrow. Wonder if the Liberty is going to hang out for a bit before it can port. It'll clearly be in the area of the port well before 4pm tomorrow.

Ha, you beat me to it by about an hour! Sweet, I can't imagine it taking another 24hrs just to dock, we gotta get in there early. Make sure you keep an eye on the WW site to check if your car has been "discharged." Judging from the Asian Chorus thread that basically means you're in the VPC.

I really think we'll be getting our cars sometime during the week!!!

Talking

Really hope you're right. My dealer's installing iPod and Sirius for me, so I worry that may delay me by a couple days. I gotta say, after we each get our rides, I'm gonna miss you man.

Check out this site for up to date AIS tracking. Immediate free registration is possible. If you login, use the Google maps feature, and search for Liberty, you'll find her slowing down (yellow icon) just south of Brooklyn. Seems like she may be waiting for her slot at the port to open up?

Liberty Docked?

If you search the WW site "by schedule", the search results show that the Liberty arrived in NY on 6/2!!! (all other sources, seem to show that it's still waiting to dock, but if there's one thing we've learned, it's that timely info is sketchy!)

Search Results

The sailing schedule and ports of call are subject to change without notice.
Note: Red ports of call means the vessel has already sailed.

Here's an updated map. I don't see her here. My guess is that she hasn't arrived, yet.

I just had the experience in watching the Panama Canal that the ship I was tracking disappeared for 30 minutes. When she reappeared, she was hidden under another ship (radar signal) and was just emerging out from under that ship. It could be that there are so many ships here, that she is hidden. I will be in and out from the computer all day. I will keep an eye on the New York Overview map and post any updates.

Unfortunately, they don't allow you to zoom into that clump of ships to see if she is hidden in there.

The HMS Liberty just appeared in the dock area of the map, but I don't think that is your Liberty, either.

Thanks for the maps, spn!

gosox, you've been busy since I've been gone! Good find on that Live AIS site, I just checked it and the last time our Liberty reported was 14:55 (2:55PM) yesterday, same place you saw it at. The WW site isn't showing my VIN as being discharged yet, but they've been known to be delayed. Regardless I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere on this site that the VPC is CLOSED on Sunday...

So, if we ordered the 6FL ipod option, that's installed at your dealership and not when your car's being built?

My dealer had my car on order and produced and I'm buying it. I didn't order it myself. As a result, I'm having ipod and sirius installed at the dealer, because the car had already been built without them when i came into the picture. I'm fairly certain that they're generally installed at the factory if that's how the cars are ordered.

Btw, WW shows the Liberty as having departed NY.

Here she is! You can see her name label on the left side of the map.
