LOL. We keep posting the same comments.

I just realized that

On AIS, it looks like she's turned into that other shipping lane to go north, unless she's going into LA and her arrow is pointed in the wrong direction. I have seen that happen. I have seen a ship's arrow point in the complete opposite direction of where they are heading. It must be a radar glitch when that happens. It looks like she's heading north, though.

Did she drop off shinemicro? She's gone on mine. What a cliffhanger!

I think shinemicro is made up of a bunch of amateur AIS recievers (they sell one on their site), so they don't cover the area where AE is going. The last update on the shinemicro site is timestamped from almost 2 hours ago now.

I found her. You have to look at the most zoomed (smallest red box for San Pedro) on shinemicro map to find her. She's still sitting there. The time stamp is correct, kefler. Try changing maps to the smallest red box.

spn · 02-26-2008, 03:14 PM

Here she is. She actually coasted backwards.

Then you are really not going to like this. Let me find the photos. . .

She's heading north on AIS. I will post a picture in a minute.

spn · 02-26-2008, 03:39 PM

Here she is.

spn · 02-26-2008, 04:38 PM

She's almost there. There is no AIS radar for PH, so you won't be able to see her in port. I have to leave in awhile, so I may not be able to post any more maps.

Port Hueneme is that coastal deformity just under the "s" in "Approaches" (where you see "Los Angeles Approaches" at the top of the map.)

BB · 02-26-2008, 04:38 PM

In your picture it looks like the AE is past the LA port, but do you have any idea why this live feed shows her stationary in the same spot she was earlier? I'm hoping it's an equipment error!

BB · 02-26-2008, 08:19 PM

She at the port yet? I can't tell from the radar....

She went off the PH area radar hours ago, which means she's in port. Check on the BMW system (1-800, Owner's Circle, Dealership) tomorrow for status changes to your cars.

BB · 02-26-2008, 10:39 PM

Thanks for all your help with this, you kick ass!

Likewise....!

spn · 02-26-2008, 11:36 PM

Thanks, good luck, and post pics when you get your cars.

BB-I am curious to see how this plays out timewise with your car's journey to Seattle. Keep us posted with its progress.

BB · 02-27-2008, 01:14 PM

Will do!

xtrakrispee · 02-27-2008, 09:42 PM

It seems like AE left Port Hueneme... according to the WW site.

BB · 02-27-2008, 09:47 PM

Yup, I'm going in to talk with my CA tomorrow so I'll try to get an ETA.
