Plus R&R time at Spa VPC to get freshened up after a month at sea.

Right now the ship is broadcasting an ETA of 8:30 p.m. on October 30th. Screenshot below.

Location tracking is currently inaccurate because the ship is out of range, as is typical while far from land. Note on this screen shot that its location hasn't been updated for 1 day and 9 hours.

Best to disable unused symbols (especially other ships) for clarity!

Port Hueneme now November 16th.

I have satellite tracking enabled, so positions should be pretty good. Here's this morning's progress.

Is satellite tracking an add-on subscription? Couldn't find a way to enable it. Shouldn't be a problem tracking the post-Atlantic portion of the trip w/o upgrading, however, based on my prior experience.

I signed up for the free trial of the "Ship Management Operations Pro" membership, which lets you track up to three ships by satellite without adding anything on. To do so you have to create a fleet, then add the ship you want to track to the fleet, then enable satellite tracking on the ship page (the control is at the upper right). For reference, here's the page for the Grand Pavo: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais.../shipid:410655 Picture of the satellite tracking control is below.

Thanks. I already had a fleet built, so just now added a SAT extension for a month.

Looks like by tomorrow we could already be halfway across the pond, and into US waters!

man, thank you guys for making this thread so easy for me, I now just sit back and enjoy the updates from everyone not to mention we got some future meteorologist, oceanographer and possible ship captains brewing up in here

I laughed out loud at work to this.

This morning's update. For all the fast cars on that ship, it's ironic (and excruciating!) that it only goes 17 mph or so.

Spoke to BMW Genius and ETA west coast is November 15!

US waters don't extend to the halfway point of the Atlantic, if that's what you mean. Territorial waters are only 12 nautical miles from the low tide mark. Most of the ocean is international waters. But halfway is halfway! The excitement builds.

Haha, true. I am guilty of wishful embellishing, as charged!

Glad you have the satellite tracking. Surprised more people don't do it. I actually bought a bunch of credits; they weren't that expensive.

would someone with sat coverage be so kind to update our dear vessel's whereabouts?

I don't have sat coverage but the WWL shows the last three stops after MD have slipped one more day. Port Hueneme is now November 17th.

@kechang Drive Green Highway just left Port of Baltimore this evening so there is room now for your ship to dock early next week. You all on the West Coast should petition BMW NA to clear your ED car in Baltimore and then ship via train. This would be a lot faster than the Panama Canal. Probably even doing a PC re-delivery on the east coast and driving back to Cali would be faster.

Our poor Pavo is beset with more weather misfortune in its Atlantic crossing.

Here's the report: http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/29/us/new...rtheast-storm/

Very strong winds and heavy rains are forecast for today and tomorrow as two strong storms converge. However, it looks like the coastal waters in/around Baltimore will not suffer the worst.

Here's Pavo's current location (note its speed is 18.4 kn (~21 mph), the fastest I've seen yet on this trip). The wind map is for the maximum force in Pavo's path tomorrow. Note that the channel leading to the Baltimore port is forecast to be **relatively** calm.

Let's hope that this year's freak hurricanes from the south take a break when Pavo heads that direction soon!

El Pavo Loco is now nearly close enough to smell the bagels in Baltimore...
