Falstaff, 2/18/08 departure for Port Hueneme

Since it's obvious that I'm going to miss Turandot, I thought we should have a group for folks on next week's departure.

I'm trying to take it with a dose of mirth, as befits our namesake: Sir John Falstaff

I'm hoping I'll be on the Falstaff! My MINI's in the paint shop now, scheduled to be done tomorrow. I'm not sure if I'll make it or not... I might just miss it. I guess I'll find out in a week!

Also, good color choice. I see a lot of people on the boards with lightning blue, but I almost never see them around town.

I missed the Turnadot by hours (like 14 of them) but I show boarded on the Falstaff. All that matters is that it is on its way. Woohooo.

You can see where the Falstaff is on this map:
http://www.ais-live.co.uk/AIS%20Live/aissolent.html

It looks like it might be moving? Right now, it's a green dot in the group of ships near Hamble.

Falstaff has now passed out of AIS range. Next update on the 29th... Can I wait 11 days without going InZan3?

I've looked a couple of times at sailwx.info, but the most recent update for the Falstaff is January 20. I hope it'll update soon!
