It's gonna be close... the Talia looks like it's further away, but it was last updated 6 hours earlier than the Triton Leader. Also, its destination reads as Cristobal (right next to the Panama Canal), but due in 6hrs later than the Triton Leader on the 28th. The Talia is due in on 3/3 though, so either it's going to make it through first, or it's running late.

This is going to suck for all of us if the VPC gets overloaded with bimmers the week the ships arrive.

Well, let's put it this way, do you think IF the Triton comes in first that they would hold it back since the Talia is scheduled to come in first?! I would think that they would take whichever comes first. I'm wondering, since we got delayed in the English Channel for over a day due to the storm in the Atlantic, if that is what caused the Talia to get delayed?

Then again the Talia has made a stop in Georgia already, maybe the Triton will stop in Panama and will let the Talia go ahead so that the eta is is right on schedule for 03/06 and 03/08.

I just found out from the 800's number that my 335 is still sitting at port waiting for a vessel. It has been there since 2/10 according to the rep.

Isn't there a vessel leaving tomorrow? Or tonight our time. You're overdue, I bet you'll find out Monday that it has left.

Looks like the Talia just came into range before the Triton Leader... right at the mouth of the Panama Canal...

Yup! You must be refreshing as often as I am. I'm on the home stretch now!

cksv · 02-27-2011, 05:51 PM

Keep an eye on the web cam for my ship! http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/ca...html?cam=Gatun

cksv · 02-27-2011, 07:56 PM

The Talia was moved from 3/3 to 3/9 on the port arrival schedule?!?! What the heck!!! http://www.portofhueneme.org/documen...l_schedule.pdf

o98eclipse · 02-27-2011, 08:41 PM

Hm... I have a feeling that the Talia was stuck in the Atlantic storm that was happening. Our ship was doing uturns for a day in the english channel waiting for the storm to die down. I wonder if the storm slowed the Talia down?! It's also odd that it made a stop or took a route near Georgia.

Maybe it had to stop in Georgia to fuel up? (if it spent significant time avoiding the storm)

cksv · 02-27-2011, 09:04 PM

I'm sure it went to Brunswick to drop off some BMW's: http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2..._bmw_nod33694/

eekthecat · 02-28-2011, 09:37 AM

Time to keep an eye on the Canal webcams -- looks like we all missed both the Talia and the Triton Leader going through the Gatun Lock.

eekthecat · 02-28-2011, 10:27 AM

Lol, now the Triton is right behind the Talia as they approach the Miraflores Locks -- I wonder if they're drafting?!

eekthecat · 02-28-2011, 11:56 AM

Here's the Talia, near the centennial bridge -- the Triton Leader should not be far behind:

o98eclipse · 02-28-2011, 12:03 PM

Sooo cool! How are you accessing that? Can you send me the link? Thanks!

I think the two white things in the upper right corner are the Talia and the Triton Leader right behind it, both moving toward Mirafores.

The webcams are here: http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/ca...m=MirafloresHi

Another of the Talia:

eekthecat · 02-28-2011, 12:29 PM

... aaaaand our first glimpse of the Triton Leader, pulling up alongside the Talia?

Wow, she looks a lot bigger.

eekthecat · 02-28-2011, 12:59 PM

Talia-people, here comes your ship:

cksv · 02-28-2011, 01:04 PM

Cool pics guys. I'm watching it on the Miraflores High Resolution cam right now.

eekthecat · 02-28-2011, 01:16 PM

Here they are:

eekthecat · 02-28-2011, 01:22 PM

Here's a hi res shot:

Both are stopped, for now.

EDIT: The Talia is underway again.
