I found the Tellus (call sign WRYG) at NDBC .

(I'm no expert at this, just following what eBrit posted earlier)

Looks like it's checked in twice. Go to the link I posted above, set the time to "past 12 hours" (max). Then search the list for the call sign. From there you've got to take the data listed there (lat, long) and apply those coordinates to a map, like the one at
oceandata .

Looks like the Jingu Maru has checked in too at about 1800 GMT today!

Also on Tellus and have not spotted it on the map yet. Ask Mini says estimated at VDC 10/21.

thanks, paul and SCoopFL..have you talked to "ask mini" today? I called yesterday and they told me still waiting to transport but they already have it booked on the TELLUS...this is really getting on my nerves

It's getting a bit crowded out there

No less than FIVE ships at sea to USA with MINI's on board. Don Juan must be coming into Bayonne this morning...and the rest....

sjjn · Oct 11th, 2002, 03:21 PM

Any 9/27's get theirs yet?

I know mine is in town, I just don't know when I'll get the call...

MINImeat · Oct 11th, 2002, 03:44 PM

I'm at VPC in Charleston, sjjn.
Hoping for delivery sometime next week.

I always knew this would be the worst part...It's literally a few blocks away and I can't have it yet.....

SCoopFL · Oct 11th, 2002, 04:19 PM

Let us know how long you're at the VPC. I'm on the Tellus, due into Charleston next Friday. Curious how long VPC is currently taking.

sjjn · Oct 11th, 2002, 05:47 PM

According to ASK-MINI, all of us that got off in Bayonne on the Don Juan are still resting peacefully there. C'mon...get a move on little doggies...hyah!!!

Allybrit · Oct 11th, 2002, 06:05 PM

Yeah sjjn, I called ask mini too and I think we are all just sitting there waiting.......come on !!!!!!!My delivery date is also Oct 12th, and if they dont open up I-95 cos of this sniper it might be next week.....

paulgraz · Oct 13th, 2002, 11:03 PM

My 9/27 build MCS onboard the Jingu Maru should be arriving in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, tomorrow morning. They will unload some cars there no doubt, but mine will stay onboard for another 2 days down to NYC.

Can't see much now, but I found a cam in Halifax that might help us see the Jingu Maru.

Halifax Live.com

There's a cam listed as "Halifax Harbour Cam". I'll be checking it in the morning. The last data point I got from the NDBC shows the ship not far off the coast of Nova Scotia, so I suspect it's right on schedule...

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures.

sjjn · Oct 23rd, 2002, 03:47 PM

Way to go MiniTiger, better put in for Friday off, you're not going to want to leave it for a minute.....

whitey · Oct 23rd, 2002, 03:49 PM

SCoopFL · Oct 23rd, 2002, 03:57 PM

Congrats MiniTiger! Mine is at Charleston VPC right now. The wait gets so much worse the closer it gets.

MiniTiger · Oct 23rd, 2002, 05:09 PM

A co-worker, MiniShuttle, has been stuck in Greer VPC for almost 2 weeks. He is very frustrated... especially since I'm getting mine before him. His car was the unlucky one not to make the truck to his dealer, so he sits and waits.
:-(
