My SB/Black ZSP, ZCW, PDC 335Xi after sitting at port since 3/06 finaly maded to MAERSK TEAL yesterday.

Tracking this boat via Sailwx does not appear very probable (it reported last time in 2005 ). During short coast time should be trackable with AIS Live and Vesseltracker.

If you are on this boat you can post here!

Here is schedule as it stands today and some boat info.

I got the call today from my CA that my car gets in on 3/23 and will be there after a week and I am going crazy. My wife is starting to question my sanity. Thankfully American Idol is distracting her right now!

I've been trying to pronounce "maersker" here -- it is a mouthful . May be we should come up with some nickname. Sorry, I beat you starting this thread. I was too excited to wait after my CA confirmed that I am on this boat.

Cool, another Xi to keep me company!

BTW I think my wife and daughter are watching same channel.

[bmwvirgin]

Yeah....the xi was the compromise b/c of unpredictable northeast weather and my 2 kids.

if you can believe this....i put a deposit down the weekend b4 Thanksgiving. So this has been a LOOOOOONG time coming.

[msinfo_us]

Wow, it is a long wait. I had my ordered week after New Year. On a bright site we should be within 2-3 weeks of driving our new cars.

How do you get the ships to list on the right with vessel tracker? I registered but I don't get the lists.

[msinfo_us]

If you go to a list of the maps for ports they cover and click on the area you are looking for it will give you a list of all the ships in the area. Click on the ship name and it will zoom on it.

[STE92VE]

Thanks, I guess I'm so impatient waiting for information that I never let the page load...

Hey guys is there anyway to track the ship once it leaves europe and is on the way to usa .Vessel tracker only gives information on europe ports.

If you ordered BMW Assist, your car would be able to call you with daily updates reagrding weather, location and what the menu will be that day.

[bmwvirgin]

I thought I got a whiff of new dakota leather this AM on my ride in....but then i realized i was driving past the local diner. good thing st patty's day is this sat....i will try to extend the celebrations into next week to get me through this.

[msinfo_us]

Today in UK.

We'll be watching him leaving Europe today and most likely will see him again only in a week approaching NY harbor. I know only of Sailwx site that can track ships once in the open ocean. And it is only as good as ship reporting on its position, weather and etc to a central site. Apparently our chances with Maersk are slim. It reported last in 2005. So, hope for a calm see all the way.

So where is Maersk Teal right now? I looked in ALL "covered areas" on vesseltracker.com and searched all the lists of ships in the covered areas but don't see Maersk Teal.

Unless you are a registered user vesseltracker is 24 hours behind ...
