I am in fact on the Morning Lynn! Will feel better once it actually leaves Europe and starts its journey----currently sitting in Le Havre....but it is PROGRESS and gives me some confidence that I will see it before Christmas and, ideally, before the first snowfall in Southwestern CT.
Congrats. She's expected to be in Baltimore on Dec 6. Le Havre is a one day turnaround but they gave her 4 days to cross the channel and get to Southampton before an aggressively estimated cruise across the Atlantic 9 days later.
Ill be in northern CT for new years weekend so we can wave and chuckle as we pass each other in only a few weeks time.
Get in Morning Lynn, lads. It's sayonara to Soton, she's now bound for Baltimore, she's got Charm City's coordinates. Hopefully she's 25kns the whole way! 😄

Near as I can figure, for them to get from Southampton today at, say 1700 EST, and arrive at Baltimore on 6 December at 1100 EST, she has to average 16.5 kn/hr.

Sounds doable….no?
Doable, though aggressive. That's a 16.5kn average with your calculations so she needs to make some speed, quick.
There's a low pressure system over the middle of the Atlantic now, the picture below being winds. I expect Morning Lynn will take the usual route (ignore the predicted route in the picture) and head down towards Portugal and make a hard right to head west and eventually enter the Chesapeake at Norfolk. Brooklands just made it across to Baltimore from Zeebrugge in 10 days. My dealer is about ~50 miles as the crow flies from the Port of Baltimore so I'm optimistically hoping for a pick up on the 10th but realistically expecting early the next week. Don't think you'll be that much further behind, if at all. Almost here!

I am told that there is a railway workers strike happening while I am there.....so my Defender may get to CT before I do (but that will be a good problem to have!).
Has anyone been told that adaptive cruise control is not available on new orders? Not necessarily a deal breaker but wanted to verify if that was the case or if the change wasn’t made in time.

Unless there's some significant change, ACC is a software add. The sensing technology is in every Defender and can even be added after the fact, supposedly.
