Track it here...

http://www.oceanweather.com/data/

From the bit of research that I did, I believe the call sign is - SGIX - .

Click on North Atlantic region, and then the center circle on the top of the page " Marine Observations"

Looks like it's just south of Clonakilty Bay and soon to be passing Cork, Ireland

sjin...The maps are (more or less) real time. So if someone looks a few hours later Don Juan will have gone. He was always a bit like that!

So...I've posted current position as a fix.

eBrit

Well...she's moved along a bit in 24 hours. looks as if her weather officer is keen to post so frequently

My mini is on the Don Juan also, Born on 9-25-02, I hope that we have no delays once the boat arrives. The VPC's seem to really be slowing things up.

jfelix · Oct 3rd, 2002, 08:46 PM

It dosent seem to show up on the map the 4 or so times I have looked for it, I hope it didn't sink!

Seriously how unfunny would that be!

sjjn · Oct 4th, 2002, 04:02 PM

Haven't seen 'ol Don in a while..last time I saw it on the website it was about a half inch southwest of Ireland.

post reports if you catch a glimpse. By my best guess it should be halfway here by tomorrow.

6pm this evening...plotted onto OceanWeather from NDBC source. looks a bit rough!

sjjn · Oct 4th, 2002, 05:26 PM

That doesn't look rough, it looks like roads I'll be drivin' me MINI on when it arrives!!!

Thanks for the update eBrit

Allybrit · Oct 6th, 2002, 07:30 PM

Thanks Ebrit......your information is invaluable, and makes the waiting a little bit easier. I hope the VDC doesnt hold us up eh??

Ann Jones · Oct 7th, 2002, 02:24 AM

I noticed that the owneres lounge now shows my S "en route",
with an estimated delivery date of the 11th.
If that holds, we are not going to be long at the VPC.
I have already booked a flight to NYC to pick her up on the 24th, unless the waiting and anticipation kills me....
We'll be motorin' soon!

sjjn · Oct 8th, 2002, 11:00 AM

Can't find the ship on any of the listed sites but it is due to arrive tommorow. Anyone know what time it pulls in? I may take a walk over to the west side to see if I can catch a glimpse of it pulling in and unloading.

Anyone have a picture of 'Don' so I will recognize him?

Sausagefingers · Oct 8th, 2002, 11:43 AM

Hey sjjn,

How were you able to find out your ships call sign in order to track it? I am on the MANON but all I know is the Voyage ID#.

jfelix · Oct 8th, 2002, 11:51 PM

My indy blue S will be in tomorrow on the Don Juan also. I have a 10/12 est date of pickup too. I hope the VPC gets em through quick.

Sausagefingers, I usually try US Coast Guard PSIX

However, MANON appears as SIWN.

Sausagefingers · Oct 9th, 2002, 10:25 AM

Much Obliged!!!

jfelix · Oct 9th, 2002, 04:44 PM

Has anyone Mini shown up as unloaded from vessal yet?

Allybrit · Oct 9th, 2002, 06:01 PM

I checked mine at 5pm and no, it was still not updated....how bout anyone else ????

eBrit · Oct 9th, 2002, 06:24 PM

Well I hope your MINIs are unloaded, 'cause I think this is Don Juan leaving Bayonne (or more probably going to another berth to offload Hondas, etc) with stern tug at 9:00 GMT...about 4:00pm your time

eBrit

Allybrit · Oct 9th, 2002, 06:34 PM

LOL....I hope so too !!!!!!!!
My husband just called me from the car to tell me he was driving past the MINI dealer and that there were lots of new ones outside.he knows I am wound up like crazy waiting !!!!

Ann Jones · Oct 9th, 2002, 07:12 PM

I don't know about the rest of the "Don Juan Cruise Ship" passengers, but I am listed in the Owners Lounge with an estimated delivery date of 10/11 at Westchester MINI.

Is it possible that the VPC boys have been idly waiting for our cars, and will now get back to work, making sure all our cars are buff?

I wonder if they work an evening shift?

Is it possible we could get to the dealer in RECORD time??

Mine was completed on 10/23.
