The Dionysos Leader is on a track for the Caribbean and the Aphrodite leader just left a Port in Portugal.
Those of us waiting for Halifax bound ships may have a longer wait. Similar for ships heading to the NE USA.
My dealer is going to check again Friday morning but he's still thinking the Feb 6 departure to Halifax. Car was finished on January 18.

I would guess West Coast by ship would be about twice the time for Halifax which is about 9 days. Maybe even a little longer as most of the West Coast ships do stop at ports along the way also.

If the car is on a non-VW Logistics/Lempke vessel, the Porsches are apparently mixed with several other brands and the boat makes many stops along the way.

I did verify that my car is not on either of the above 2 mentioned boats. They both left several days before my car was loaded onto a ship. Haven't heard which ship mine is on yet, but based on departure date it will likely arrive in San diego the end of feb.

Will do, but honestly my sales never follows thru on what he says he's gonna do so I have no idea when I'll get more news. Maybe he will check the system this coming week and get me an update. I'd like to think its on a ship by now considering the rest of you that have cars finished the same time as mine all seem to be on a ship now. So I'm cautiously optimistic!!

The smoking package includes an extra power outlet and looks better.

I got the name of the vessel. It is Gentle Leader. Scheduled to arrive in San Diego on 2/28. Longer than I was hoping for but at least now I can track the progress.

Actually, just knowing the name of the ship is pretty impressive.

Just so long as it is not Captain Bligh, I am ok.
