I'll often hit the "Track Package" button in my email confirmation when I order something on line but this is taking it to another level. I got this image from my salesman last night with a transit update on my inbound 2026. I placed the order in September and so far everything is ahead of schedule. Guessing another 3-4 weeks at this point.

3.5 years on a US Navy ship most of it at sea in the Pacific(NAM) been there done that. 14-17 knots is about right unless in a storm.

If you guys have this much knowledge about a boat I can't wait to see how much I learn from you all about the car!

If we build a big enough ship, than that ship could fit on it no?

If we go from proforma speed of 14 knots to 20knots ( in order to get your LC here faster, it would cost us 140k usd in extra fuel crossing the pacific) just fun little useless facts.

Also at 14 knots ive seen some high performance sailboats pass our container vessels hahaha. no wonder those somalian pirates are able to catch up. God bless you Bob and your USN, you guys saved us from pirates numerous times.

No new updates from the dealership yet but after it arrives in Long Beach I'm told it will pack a hobo stick and hop a train to Colorado with an expected delivery window between 1/13 and 2/6. Originally, we were targeting March-April so from that benchmark I tell myself we're ahead of schedule. Logistics has become a challenging, albeit fascinating industry over the last few years so I'm still restraining my excitement until it has crossed the state line.
