That surprised me too that they had two ships leaving so close together. I think these ships are vehicle carriers only, so that's a lot of cars.

The white looks good also! I thought about white, I knew I wanted the red/black interior...and it looked really good with the Selenite Gray.
And was originally going with the Mango Selinite Grey, but I saw them both side by side on the showroom floor and thought the shinny version was for me...

I am so ready for my car to be here...!!!

Sexy twins.
Wow, they do look like twins!

There won't be any updates for a while. These free sites only provide land based AIS tracking. The ship has to be near a coast to be picked up by the receivers. Once it's out in the ocean it can only be tracked via Satellite-AIS, but you have to pay for that.

Ah, I see. I had seen this live tracker a while ago but didn't realize at the time it wasn't searchable without paying. I was thinking all the sites even if they didn't show a map still had somewhat live data.



I really wasn't worried. I know it's coming.

https://www.myshiptracking.com/ has free alerts and a mobile app. You actually get a 1000 credits and each alert costs 3 credits. Should be enough for the entire journey. I've setup alerts for arrival/departure in Bremerhaven, and arrival in Long Beach.
