Mine is right there with yours, SizeDoesMatter, arriving at port on 2/22. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Congrats, lucky you! I was hoping to get on that ship, but glad you did since you've been waiting so long for a boat! I just got booked on the Courage today and my MA says I should take delivery during the first week of April. He says he forbids me to do so on April 1 however.

OMG! Got a message from my MA yesterday afternoon stating that my MCSC should be here (at the dealer) early to middle of this coming week! I went from a couple of weeks of "awaiting transport" to it'll be here this week! Now I'm nervous, but excited! I've got another car to sell, a loan application to submit, delivery plans to make... I wasn't ready for it quite this early, but I'm not complaining!!!

CONGRATS Brad!!! I know how you feel...all this waiting and now it's FINALLY time. Other things having to happen 1st before you are ready for this Bundle of Joy.

We also have a vehicle to sell and not having much luck either.

But like you said NOT worrying about that right now.

Go have FUN and ENJOY your MINI!!

If the ship isn't submitting weather reports or if it is too close to shore, it won't show up on that website. Otello still isn't showing up...not sure why though.

I don't know anything about the EMDEN but I would have assumed the ship's electronics reported it's position automatically.

My friend in Halifax says he's going to change his name to mine and go to the autoport and pick up my new when the Otello stops there.

That'll be the end of a beautiful friendship.

If there are any 9 Weekers who are still waiting to board a ship in Southampton and it happens to be the TRIANON remember to create an "All Aboard..." thread once you know you are loaded, K??
