LOADED ON VESSEL SOUTHAMPTON 21/05/2008 16:39

 

Hello everyone! I'm crossing over from the "Week 20 Support Group" to hang with all of you...my Mini was loaded onto the Boheme today as well.

Smooth sailing...

 

has it started sailing yet

 

Try this:

http://www.shipais.com/currentmap.php?map=southampton

Looks like we're on our way!

 

And the Boheme is off! it's now moving at a speed of 8.3 kts with a destination of MANZANILLO Jun 01, "wherever that is".. left port a few minutes ago... Good luck to us! I'll keep on tracking it and see if we can get a read in the middle of the Atlantic.

 

I'm on board the Boheme also, but mine is going to Tacoma, WA. Not due in until June 14th. I ordered on March 16th, so its been a long wait. I hope the Clubman's are worth the extra time.

 

The Boheme last checked in at 302a, going 12.7 kts/115 degrees ESE

 

All this is so exciting... guess better than picking one from the dealer lot

 

Looks like the bill of lading number is up : GB767245.
There are 670 vehicles on board!

 

thanks! i clicked around through your link and found this! http://www.aisliverpool.org.uk/shipt...mmsi=265489000
this is so cool

 

Looks like the arrival date into PH is 6/10/2008.

 

Anybody available to greet it and post a picture?

 

Woo, howdy all... I'm on the Boheme too.

 

Does anyone else find it odd that the Boheme was tracked off the coast of Spain/France at 12:00 on May 23rd...but a mere 6 hours later seems to be off the coast of Alaska and heading toward Japan? We have a lot of interesting theories floating around my family...the most disturbing of which is that the captain can't correctly report the ship's latitude and longitude...

Anyone have a fun theory to share? Our current ones are: teenagers taking it for a joyride, some sort of vortex or portal, displaced by a really big wave...

It looks as if they changed their coordinate format. If you were to move the third number in the degrees position and move it to the minutes position it would make sense. I use GPS at work on occasion and there are a few different common formats. I hope they clear it up soon.

Or maybe they just added the 8 by mistake.

158°42' becomes 15.842° or 15° 50'
178°42' becomes 17.842° or 17° 50'

 

Sailwx.info is currently showing: N 44°00', W 178°42'
I took out the '8' in 178º42' and Google maps showed this instead: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=N+44%C2%B000',+W+17%C2%B 042'&ie=UTF8&ll=44.087585,-17.578125&spn=127.204641,246.796875&z=2

Seems Much more reasonable!

 

My Chili Red Mini is also one of your shipmates. It looks like we are no longer lost at sea, since Sailwx is now reporting the correct coordinates. Perhaps the Bermuda triangle has expanded due to global warming!

 

Yay! Someone with a playful sense of humor! Thanks for playing along...and for the giggle this morning. I'll be sharing this new theory with my family...they'll love it.

Welcome aboard the Boheme support group!

 

My mini is on the Boheme too! This waiting is hard!
