December 2021 Delivery

Not sure if it's a TYD glitch, but my car scheduled to go to an Ohio dealer shows it's still on the Capetown highway to Jacksonville instead of being unloaded in Baltimore.

I'm going to make a fairly safe bet and say that your TYD info is incorrect - hope so

That seems to be the case for everyone. TYD is fubared until it isn’t.

Same thing happened to those of us on SFL Conductor after it left Baltimore. You can hope TYD updates, or you can do what I did. Call 1-800-porsche and tell them you want to report a system problem - TYD is not updating, probably ever since TYD showed your car on vessel, and TYD shows Baltimore as your port, and ship left Baltimore. Don't ask agent where your car is - they normally have no other info than TYD. Just say you want case opened for TYD system problem and to give you the case number. Couple hours after I did that, TYD was updated for us.
You can also email the porsche NA email, which I did later.

out of curiosity, what email address did you use?

I went to this page and used the email address listed on it: https://my.porsche.com/core/us/en_US/contact
Never got any reply. I now notice that page refers to support for Porsche Connect, so may not have been right one.
There is also a company contact form, which I did not use: https://www.porsche.com/usa/dialogue/contactandinformation/contactus/
Calling the agent took more time, but it got me a problem case number.

SFL Conductor - Clear if Key West

Finally officially past Key West and. into the GOM - final leg to Houston

OK, time to set the alarm and sleep 'til Galveston on horizon -some off the cuff calculations may actually validate the calculated ETA been posted in MT as arriving ca. midnight Tue!

TYD changed for me today to show I am on the port processing stage. Timeline has not changed though. Still shows 1/14/21 as the delivery date.

SFL Conductor - Back up to speed - 7:54AM Hou time

Doing 18+knots (ca 21 mph) now making good progress and with a tailwind that will likely hang around through Tue.

The Turning Basin (where she will berth) definitely stays busy!:

SFL Conductor

Current view across Houston/Galveston Bay from the web cams on the AutoPort at Bayport - the bulk carrier Federica is docked there right now and is partially captured in the SE facing cam.

The Conductor will pass by and most easily seen on the SE cam view to the west of the small islands (note the nav aid in pic and on map for ref):

View as of 8 am this morning:

Cape Town Highway about to dock. Will unload and leave at 23:00 according to JAXPort schedule.

SFL Conductor now at 19+ knots (ca 22 mph) - fastest I've seen her move in the entire journey - crew must be pining for some Margaritas

This would be the sort of view you'd get of the boat from Bayport terminal but suspect won't even have this as it will be middle of the night when she pass by:

Another example just now of the view whenever the Conductor shows up (here of the Tolten bulk carrier) if we get it in daylight (likely not!) from the SE Bayport cam:
