Going through the Panama Canal at 4:45pm PST today. Live screen shot below.

Departed Bremerhaven on 3/2, and scheduled to land at Long Beach next Friday, 4/6.

Soon.... very soon.

Did you spot the car?

Waiting is the hardest part. Hope you'll get yours soon.

Man that looks like a cruise ship and not a car carrier, unless west coast routed cars get the royal treatment.

I realized that after I posted the picture, but that was the only ship to go through the Miraflores Locks at the Panama Canal right at that time, with nothing else before or after it by at least 10 minutes (and the before & after ships were much smaller cargo carrier ships.

The BMW Genius confirmed that my car is on the Patriot Vehicle Vessel.... the only Patriot car carrier out on the sea right now. I searched the forums and saw people talking about different vehicle transport shipping companies, but not Patriot.

I do know is that it just passed Acapulco and will be nearby Cabo tomorrow. Scheduled to hit Long Beach at the end of this week, so it looks like it'll be on time.


Funny how the first few days and the last few days are the most exciting, as I basically forgot about the car while it was out in the middle of the Atlantic for the past few weeks.

You're right. I was looking at the map wrong. Heh.

Lands at Port Hueneme (NTD), which is in Oxnard.

Our Colorado cars too. Man, my 2007 335 going through that port added like 7 days to the arrival. Wish ours came through the Galveston port in Texas
