The ship that carried mine through the Panama canal was a total of about 3-4 days. It stayed outside it the first day...then the next day it went into port and then came back outside it on the northside...the next day it stopped at another area in the middle of the canal for most of the day..the next day it left...I thought it was kinda odd but I guess thats the logistics of canal travel.
The time at the actual port in Panama was short and then the stop start through the canal. Very interesting to watch on the tracker. Canal negotiation for these behemoths is something most folks never look at. I know I hadn't ever done so prior to this.
Something along these lines
Leave the port in Panama and go out to see to get in a holding pattern.
Go through the canal and firs set of locks
Anchor in the lake
Get the green light and go through more locks.
Get the okay to exit the last stretch and out into the Panamanian gulf.
I think the refresh key on my computer may never recover.

So I had a call from my dealer just now.
Matrix LEDs are no option anymore. So he asked me if I'm OK with downgrading from Matrix LED to premium LED.
I says yes all good but other than "bad news" no other news. No update on my status nothing. He still hopes Q1 2022 still stands.
also told me that RR customers are facing more issues.

So, I have a deposit down for a 110X at my local dealer of which I submitted over a month ago. I have 9 people before me waiting for an allocation. Upon more and more research, my outlook doesn't look too promising!
I decided to look elsewhere... first outside my region for new. My results was pretty disappointing... unless I wanted to pay 20k over MSRP, no one would sell.
Decided to start looking for used ones. Found a couple, but not exactly what I was looking for. Then I managed to find a 2021 110X with 6200 miles at CarMax of all places. I am in the process of having it transported to my local CarMax. Only costing me $200. Figured it was worth the cost. Dealer is only 538 miles from me... so it should not be long. (They said it could take a max of 14 days). We will see how it all pans out when it arrives.
Figured I will keep my deposit at my dealer, buy this used one and go from there... If I like the used one, keep that. If I like it but desire different options, trade in the used one once I finally get my new build allocation delivered? Time will tell. Just happy I found a spec I like!
