[quote=mysticturner;2205941]I was just closing up windows, cleaning the desktop and spotted that the Patriot has been delayed by 30 minutes. I bet they found room for a few more MINIs! Right now y'all are about 2 hrs 30 min from sailing.[/quot


Just heard the good, Oh! my head, Hey, where did this tattoo come from. OK which one of you guy did this. Most of been the East Coast boy, they heard about the mutiny we planned. To all on the Patriot, have a safe voyage.

So it looks like you Patriot passengers only have a few hours to stumble to your cabins. MINI Trekkie, wanna go see if we can find some fireworks to send the Patriot off?
I'll bring the matches and a bottle of bubblie for the Patriot.

Hey I only suggested Vulcan ears on the rear quarter panels. YOU were the one who screamed "I've got a better idea. A Klingon HEAD RIDGE running over the roof!" right before you passed out.

Grab your matches, I found a bunch of military containers loaded with phosphorus mortar rounds. Should be spectacular!

Oh dear, my poor baby is in for a wild ride on the Patriot! You all better be nice to her, now!

(I just found out, my HC Clubbie made it onto the Patriot at 2:30 today... wooot! Knock on wood for a storm-less voyage!)


HMM... so according to WW's site mine was loaded in Southampton and is supposed to go to NY... but I thought they were unloaded in Charleston... what's up with that?

Hi ,

If you want to fill in the missing ??? my production start was April 22

Hoping for smooth calm seas in all of our futures.

Looks like Axel is loaded on the Patriot as of 5/03/08.

I just spotted the Patriot on Radar. Not sure how to save the picture so that it can be retained for posterity. I'll snapshot it & put in on the laptop in case I figure that out later.

Don't worry the fireworks are only dockside. MINI Trekie & I are on (we think) the Carribean Highway set to leave tomorrow. And I think in the background of this webcam pic I had earlier, there might be some fireworks going off..... Hope you have a great cruise. Don't eat too much at the Buffet - you want to be in top form when you hit US soil!

Well, I'm sure my new girl will stand on the deck and wave to you all and the shores of England as she goes... surprised, though, since when I called ASK MINI she only left the factory yesterday and now she's loaded on board...

I'm sure if she indulges a bit I can work it off her without too much effort... ;P

I just read the week 14 thread. They are a very sedate group. Not a tattoo on a one of them.

FIREFIGHTERS from Southampton's St Mary's station spent about 90 minutes early today tackling a blaze that wrecked a detached garage.
A neighbour in Alma Road, Portswood, raised the alarm shortly before 1am.
The fire that destroyed the garage is believed to have been caused by an electrical fault. The building was empty.

I think the kiddies are starting something up. I think the fire works went a little to far.

I feel left out! We're at the docks as of last Thursday, and that's the last I've been able to find out.-my vin # doesn't bring anything up on the WW site at all... do the west-coasters just sail off under cover of secrecy?

I think West coast may use a different shipping company?

You might be on the "caribbean highway" K-LIne and you can't track her on W/W site.

I'm with you, outofthebox. I was finished on Wednesday, and at the docks as of Thursday and I don't get anything on WW either. UGH! I got a call back from my MA this morning and he said that I'm still waiting to be assigned to a ship. What's up with that!!! I'm still hoping that I'm assigned to the Carribean Highway somehow...and my baby's just sailing incognito. ;-)

The next ship for the West Coast:

SOUTHAMPTON 08/05/2008 PORT HUENEME, CA 28/05/2008 FALSTAFF ED818-FAL days at sea 20

I hope this helps. So how about another beer, while you wait. The Rolls are picking up the tap.
