I'm on CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY (Voyage 50A) for PCD

drivethemachine · 03-27-2015, 11:13 AM

I dropped of my 228i after ED in Munich last week. I accidentally noticed their paperwork was sending it to Newark NJ. I thought that was odd so I called them today. Good thing I caught it! It turns out it was erroneously scheduled to sail on 4/9 onboard Torino bound for NJ. This vessel does not make a stop at Brunswick (the destination for all PCD's).
Luckily I pointed this out to them and in a last minute scramble they rebooked me for California Highway voyage 50A, which will set sail on 4/1 from Bremerhaven, and will arrive in Brunswick, GA on 4/16. That basically shaves off over a week from the original schedule

Can't wait for PCD.....having done European Delivery the wait is killing me!

Wow, nice catch. That would've been disappointing (at least as much as you can be disappointed after doing ED).

California Highway is being loaded up in Bremerhaven right now! (It's that huge gray block behind the yellow cranes.)
I caught it on webcam. Good to know that my car is in there somewhere...

Are you on it too?

Gatte · 04-06-2015, 12:46 AM

I'm on the Cygnus Leader actually. I was just taking this because I have a problem.

drivethemachine · 04-06-2015, 05:20 AM

hahaha LOL, I think we all have that problem around here

blanquito · 04-08-2015, 08:13 AM

Just got word that I am on-board with you! I had thought that I missed this one (car has been at port since 3/24) but I guess it took a while for the status to update in the BMW system.

I wanted to but scheduling wouldn't work out so I am having it delivered to me in Miami.

drivethemachine · 04-09-2015, 01:29 PM

OK, to anyone on this boat doing PCD; let's post our status changes in this thread.
Who knows maybe this turns out to be a mini-meet at the PC track!

blanquito · 04-13-2015, 11:39 AM

Boats pulling into port of Baltimore right now...

drivethemachine · 04-13-2015, 12:18 PM

So far we are on schedule! Few more days to Brunswick.

blanquito · 04-16-2015, 06:01 AM

Looks like the ship ran late yesterday and got bumped in the scheduling. It been sitting anchored outside the port since about 7ish last night

I'm watching it too

3 other boats pulled in ahead of it this morning.

blanquito · 04-16-2015, 04:09 PM

Looks like Boheme is pulling out now... maybe with some luck we will get to take it's spot. It sitting anchored all day has had me worried!

drivethemachine · 04-16-2015, 07:08 PM

It's still anchored. I am at the edge of my seat! Feel like I want to just make a call down to the port and ask them if they had forgotten about that boat about 10 miles off shore

drivethemachine · 04-17-2015, 05:29 AM

They are unloading in Brunswick now!
