Who's on the Vessel Don Juan this Valentine's Week??!!!

fletcher969 · 02-18-2006, 07:22 PM

Geez....now the DJ isn't showing up on SailWx.info at all. Did she....ok, I won't even play around asking such a silly question!

Seriously though...I guess her AIS info may be hit and miss across the pond. Unless of course she really did.....ok, I won't kid around. Have to go clean my SINK!!!

fletcher969 · 02-18-2006, 07:24 PM

I'm wondering....how might one take care of interior water damage?

KL2DC · 02-18-2006, 07:25 PM

Her AIS info is only as good as her crew's diligence in calling it in...I don't think its automatic ...

KL2DC · 02-19-2006, 09:16 AM

Good morning ladies...

Update 02/19/06 1000 EST from www.sailwx.info

DON JUAN

She's chugging along nicely...

Guys, I just got confirmation from my Dealer that my car is on the boat. The oc.bmwusa.com site confirms it. Under order review, I can see my VIN. But when I go to the W W tracking page... it will not show my car.

Did you put the entire VIN (case sensitive)? It should pull up the info...

KL2DC · 02-19-2006, 07:38 PM

Nothing much to report here ... slight change in bearing/direction but she's looking good, let's keep it that way

Last reported at 2006-Feb-19 18:00 UTC / 13:00 EST: position N 49°24', W 013°06'

Wind from 340 at 33 knots
Air temperature 9° C
Water temperature 11.8° C

Is it me or is all this starting to look like hurricane tracking / storm watch ...

...

Beto Pereira · 02-19-2006, 07:58 PM

I only have 7 letters, the WBAVB and the PS. The show up on the oc.bwmusa.com page as CAPITAL letters.

Romulus · 02-19-2006, 08:58 PM

i'm pretty sure i'm on this boat (dealer said my car will arrive in country on 23 Feb), but the tracking page says it has no info for my VIN number.. I dunno wtf is wrong. Guess it'll still get here when it gets here though.

KL2DC · 02-19-2006, 09:03 PM

The W W L site should have the VIN ... do you have the dealer confirmation (off the DCS)? ...

dealer confirmation? not quite sure.. my salesman told me last week sometime that my car was scheduled to arrive at the port on the 23rd.. it looks like from the DJ's schedule that I may not actually be on this ship, since it doesn't arrive at any US ships on the 23rd.. meh, who knows.

KL2DC · 02-19-2006, 09:38 PM

Romulus: I am not sure your car's on the D J as she is only calling on Halifax on the 23rd (scheduled). Where are you taking delivery? Either way W W L should have cargo tracking on your VIN...good luck.

no_exit · 02-20-2006, 07:34 PM

The next WW ship to leave Bremerhaven was the Maersk Wave. It left on 02.18.2006 and does not have a port call in Halifax. It is scheduled to arrive in New York on 02.28.2006 - one day after the DJ. If we encounter a delay in Canada, then that ship could dock in New York ahead of our trusty DJ even though it left Bremerhaven five days later.

Might be kinda fun to track it's progress as well.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Winds have shifted, and died down a bit, and the pressure is rising (good sign). The DJ is picking up speed now that she's cleared less favorable conditions. She's about 1/3 the way to Halifax.

Latest report (6 hour interval):
20-Feb-06
N49'00' W023'06'
Winds: 180@25 knots
Pressure: 1027 and rising
NM Travelled this segment: 110
Avg Speed this segment: 18.4 knots (highest average for this voyage)

fletcher969 · 02-20-2006, 08:00 PM

Looks like the DJ is going to have a little weather ahead, however...

Hmmm....I took you up on that, and decided to see where she was, and I think she's TERRIBLY lost!

The Maersk Wave is sailing between Africa and Saudi Arabia! Woohoo! There NO WAY she'll make it to her final destination before the DJ now!

Are you suuuure it was the Maersk Wave?

KL2DC · 02-20-2006, 08:11 PM

... someone's gone ahead and did extra credit homework

bravo

Fletch, great stuff...was wondering where you were the last 24 hours ...

There's no need to worry about the Maersk Wave ... she's still stuck in berth 35 Southampton...1 day (and counting) behind schedule...deja vu?

Those local pubs in Southampton must be something else...

Fletch...that looks like a tropical wave

I hope our babies nice, dry and secured for the (bumpy) ride...

bsjd00 · 02-20-2006, 08:26 PM

Yes, it is the Maersk Wave (and my e90 is on it) but it is most definitely NOT in the Gulf of Aden. For some reason, the Maersk Wave has not reported its location to sailwx.info since 01/31/2006. Your graphic confirms this too.

The website for Wallenius Wilhelmsen confirms that the ship left Southampton, UK today and is on schedule for a 02/28 docking in NYC. The post above from Southampton is likely more accurate than WW's site, but either way she is definitely not between Africa and Saudi Arabia.

They tend to start reporting weather reports (to sailwx.info etc) once they reach the open seas...as was the case with our Don Juan...I hope the Maersk Wave won't be detained in Southampton as long as we were ... after they've done their business loading/unloading at berth 35, the Don Juan proceeded to park on the other side i.e. Passenger Terminal and our ship crew seem to have gone AWOL for at least 24 hours ....
