Rick, it is interesting to track your boat, just wish they could send them 'airmail' the next day! Trust me, I know how anxious you are feeling .....
Mine came from Florida, on it's trailer to Georgia then 3 different ships and 10 stop overs before arriving at Laem Chabang port Thailand. Paid in full on Feb 27th 2013 and arrived at port May 31st 2013. Couple of days to clear the port and I got to see her for the first time on June 3rd at my local Marina. I was pulling my hair out (what's left of it).
Stops included Texas, Mexico, a couple up the west coast, Japan China (twice), South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore. A very long wait but well worth it.
Well done on your new ride, I'm sure you'll enjoy her.

I wonder if she had as many stops on the way over.
