Why is it delayed?

Yup. My car entered production early and cruised through the process. And now it's been just over a month since it arrived at the port.

Found it, Fal! Weather was the issue... they seem to be all backed up!

March 20th:
Tosca was still at Autoport today, no doubt struggling to unload its cars to clear storage. Opal Ace, which was scheduled for Thursday, March 19, has been pacing back and forth out at sea, and is now due Saturday March 22 after Tosca sails.

March 19th:
The autocarrier Opal Ace did not arrive this morning, allowing Tosca to move over to Autoport as planned.

March 18th:
Autocarier Tosca is also due to move from pier 27 to Autport. It was supposed to move Tuesday, but due to the high winds, it would not be able to stay at Autoport. It would not be a good candidate for anchoring due to its high freeboard, so it was likely moved across the camber to the lee side for the night. How Autoport will deal with one ship, let alone two will be interesting to hear.

If it had arrived as initially scheduled 3/17), it would have cleared this Storm. But now it appears that it got caught on the back end of it.

Today's storm wasn't the issue... it was those crazy winds earlier in the week (as shown above). Either way, it sucks. So glad Faust doesn't have to visit Halifax! (Sorry Canada!)
