Just found out I made it on the Elektra also! Phone and computer system just slow in updating. Talked to someone at 800# and she told me its on the ship and gave me the last 7 digits of VIN. Confirmed by entering this in W&W cargo ID (apparently don't need the whole VIN).

I'm on the Elektra. Did the ship not leave port on the 11th? Says I got on the ship today. I thought the ship left on the 11th.

The ship is in England so the Brits must have built your car. Expect a lot of rust.

Seriously though probably just a delay in the system, it still says mine is awaiting a vessel.

hahaha yea weird it says I got to the port today but it also shows the ELEKTRA as being my vessel. Really pumped I made this ship I wasn't expecting to.

How much time did it take to appear in th ship's records after departure.

getting closer

MaynardZed · 07-16-2014, 01:00 AM

I expect a speedy trans-Atlantic crossing. Word has it the new Elektra engines are severely underrated. Actually putting down more RPH (rear prop horsepower) than rated at the crank

No updates for a couple of days, too far away from land. I was tempted to upgrade to the satellite monitoring, but I figure that would be considered too compulsive.

Fr1zGum · 07-17-2014, 03:58 PM

Yeah i'm on the same boat...
It's one month to go before i get my car and that rly sucks because my car was built like one month ago lol. Why did it take so long to ship mine?!!!

MaynardZed · 07-18-2014, 09:27 AM

Out of range for awhile, but using free nautical distance calculator online with an average speed of 16 knots, I predict Elektra should arrive in Panama around July 27th. Could be a tad sooner as I think gets slight tailwind in southern part of North Atlantic.

Here's the Elektra's position:

Thanks, closer to eastern US than I would have expected. Wonder what route it takes through Caribbean?

The official schedule from W&W shows it arriving into Savannah, GA on the 25th of July for a stop. Next stop is Manzanillo, Panama on the 29th, and into CA on August 7th. (And then to Tacoma, WA on the 11th)
