Anyone anticipating to be on the W&W Otello?

I'm crossing fingers hoping that i'll be on the Otello.... here are some stats on my timeline:

Original Allocation Build Date - May 26
Order Placed - June 29
Allocation Revised - June 30
Confirmed Production Date - August 4
Production Started - July 4
Production Scheduled Completion - July 14

Otello is scheduled to depart 7/26... so i hope 12 days is enough time to make it from the factory to the port.

Anyone else expecting to be on the same boat?

I'm hoping I will be on it or one of the west bound ships. My completion date is July 11th.

Haha! Sorry!

It probably makes no difference anyway since there won't be any ship till end of this month and most more than likely both our cars will be on it.

NYK Lines. They're a different carrier. They got mine and a couple other guys getting out here to CA on the 30th.

Mines been at the port awaiting a vessels for about 3 days now and it appears I missed the Elektra. Two weeks is a long wait for the next west coast bound ship, but hopefully we'll all be on it.
