Doesn't matter to me. I don't get to pick up the car until Jan 22. The wait is more agonizing for me.

Looks like the ETA to Baltimore got moved back up to the 23rd. There's some good news. And I just read that a guy in the November builds thread had a car that got to port on 12/16, got to his dealer on 12/19!!! Things much be moving pretty quickly right now.

If your last position report is accurate, our ship is still at least 1000 miles away from Baltimore. At the slow pase so far, it will not make for the 23rd. Looks like January is realistic. This slow motion is intentual for a reason. It looks like, for me, a 5 month wait since my deposit, crazy!

The Eurasian Highway is now in the "Sargasso Sea".

From wiki:

Sargasso Sea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Sargasso Sea (disambiguation).

The Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic is bounded by the Gulf Stream on the west, the North Atlantic Current on the north, the Canary Current on the east, and the North Equatorial Current on the south.
The Sargasso Sea is a region in the gyre in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. It is the only sea on Earth which has no coastline.[1] It is bounded on the west by the Gulf Stream; on the north, by the North Atlantic Current; on the east, by the Canary Current; and on the south, by the North Atlantic Equatorial Current. This system of ocean currents forms the North Atlantic Gyre. All the currents deposit the marine plants and refuse they carry into this sea.

The Sargasso Sea is 1,107 km wide and 3,200 km long (700 statute miles wide and 2,000 statute miles long). It stretches from roughly 70 degrees west to 40 degrees west, and from 20 degrees north to 35 degrees north. Bermuda is near the western fringes of the sea. The ocean water in the Sargasso Sea is distinctive for its deep blue color and exceptional clarity, with underwater visibility of up to 61 m (200 ft).[2]

History[edit]
The naming of the Sargasso Sea after the Sargassum seaweed traces back to the early 15th-century Portuguese explorations of the Azores Islands and of the large "volta do mar" (the North Atlantic gyre), around and west of the archipelago, where the seaweed was often present.[3] However, the sea may have been known to earlier mariners, as a poem by the late 4th-century author Rufus Festus Avienus describes a portion of the Atlantic as being covered with seaweed, citing a now-lost account by the 5th-century BC Carthaginian Himilco the Navigator.
