o98eclipse · 02-28-2011, 12:56 PM

o98eclipse · 02-28-2011, 12:59 PM

o98eclipse · 02-28-2011, 01:24 PM

(now we're on the move again... I guess that's all for now... no more webcams and soon it'll leave tracking range)

o98eclipse · 02-28-2011, 01:40 PM

shes moving!!!

o98eclipse · 02-28-2011, 01:41 PM

and there she goes...

o98eclipse · 02-28-2011, 02:02 PM

Both were anchored and now both are underway again. Hopefully its non stop from here.

7 days before our next update!

o98eclipse · 02-28-2011, 02:28 PM

And there they go! It's a race! Both headed to the Pacific Ocean! Maybe the Talia is going to stop in San Diego if it's scheduled one day later. I couldn't imagine it going slower so it can come one day later than us. Time will tell!

cksv · 02-28-2011, 02:33 PM

It seems the Talia does actually travel slower than the Triton:

Talia: Speed recorded (Max / Average): 17.2 / 16.9 knots
Triton: Speed recorded (Max / Average): 18.7 / 17.8 knots

Anyway I'm still rooting for the Talia to get in first

.

o98eclipse · 02-28-2011, 02:35 PM

good find! haha! You would CKSV. Let's see who is in their car first. Granted San Diego is closer than the bay!

o98eclipse · 02-28-2011, 06:06 PM

The Maersk Wind just made it through the canal not too long ago. Port Hueneme schedule has it coming in on 03/07, but the update on marinetraffic has it coming in 03/08 1 hr after the Talia arrives. Not that it is carrying bimmers, but its a good reference point since we're between both vessels.

ktwang012 · 02-28-2011, 09:23 PM

8 more days before we dock and a few more before we can post pictures of our cars up

o98eclipse · 03-01-2011, 11:13 AM

ktwang, where have you been? Eek and I have been celebrating by ourselves here.

o98eclipse · 03-01-2011, 11:15 AM

I uploaded a pic of the Triton to the marine traffic website and they used it. Pretty cool!

o98eclipse · 03-01-2011, 11:18 AM

hm... the Maersk wind now shows its eta in Port Hueneme 1 hr before the Talia, maybe it'll pass both of our ships?

At least it's not carrying bimmers. (or is it? it doesn't show a breakdown on the Hueneme schedule) I'm getting a feeling that it's going to get crowded at the port

o98eclipse · 03-01-2011, 02:23 PM

No it's not carrying bimmers. Originally we thought it was supposed to have our cars in it, until we found out that it was on the Triton. I was using it as a reference point as the Talia, then the Triton, and the Maersk followed through the Panama Canal. The Maersk is supposed to get there 03/07, but it looks like it will get there on the 8th before the Talia. It was just an interesting thought since the Maersk was behind the Talia and Triton

eekthecat · 03-03-2011, 06:05 PM

Delayed to 3/9

o98eclipse · 03-03-2011, 06:07 PM

Hey Eek, did you reprice your vehicle with March pricing? I repriced mine on the BMW site and my car comes out to be $175.00 less in MSRP than before the March pricing. This is probably due to the decrease in the DCT transmission from $1400+ to $450. Does this sound right? It's only $175.00, but still its a savings.
