WooHoo - My Tig is on its way!

[oz_train]

Hi All,
imagine my delight when I entered the VIN into the "Track and Trace" website, and I got a Vessel Name and Voyage id instead of the expected "no record found". Apparently, my Tig will land at Port Kembla on 20.02.11 (via Durban/Fremantle/Melbourne - on the "Toledo")! Then what, about 3 weeks until I get the keys? That would make it a week earlier than expected, and now only 55 sleeps to go!

regards,
John.

Awesome!
Now begins the drawn out wait and constant checking to see how it is tracking.

Generally 3 weeks from landing to delivery, mine took between 3 and 4 due to delays at the port.

Hopefully it all arives with no issues.

Congrats!

Just a tip if you're tracking the ship (as I was), the ETA posted for each port is based on UTC or GMT(+0).

So you need to physically add 10 hours for actual time in Sydney/Newcastle.

Hey epilot, thanks for the video! Just what I needed - not
Yes - a "Hunter Chapter" sounds good - how many Tiggys are there in this corner of the world, I wonder? I see a few - but the most important thing is that soon there'll be one more... MINE!!!

Just checked on the position of the ship... man, can't that thing go any faster?

Regards,
John.
