Good afternoon ladies and gentleman, this is your Captain speaking...

We are on the FIDELIO! Here is our ship information: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=re...WwjdeU66hBgXtQ
Here is a blog by one of the officers onboard: http://craigeasonatsea.wordpress.com/

Our ports of call are as follows:

Southhampton, United Kingdom - 6/5/08
Halifax, NS, Canada - 6/12/08
New York, NY - 6/14/08
Baltimore, MD - 6/16/08
Brunswick, GA - 6/18/08

 

sweet! Mine's already loaded!


i think you have some dates wrong. should be departing 6/5/08 not 5/6/08

 

5/6/08 is how the date is written in England. Day first, then month, then year. Once the boat reaches Nova Scotia month first, then day, then year.

 

ahhh gotchya, thanks Georgetown

 

Gosh, is it just Bandit and I all by our lonesome? Everyone else should be loaded up by now!

 

Nope, we have more company. On board so far:

Fidelio has sailed.

 

Awesome!we might have our cars by the end of the month!

 

First round of drinks is on me!

 

Locked and Loaded at 9am this morning. I now believe my sales girl when she told me 4-6 weeks. Looks more like 4 (hope) I was getting nervous after reading some of the posts on here some have said 12weeks.

 

On board so far:

irondynarider

What NJ dealership did you use irondynarider? I'm going through Prestige.

 

I used Prestige as well!

 

I'm on board too, lets hope for calm seas and a smooth voyage.

 

I went throigh Prestige as well The agents name was Afton she was great.

 

Bandit, Did you deal with Nick at Tom Bush Mini? I spoke with him over there before I went to Downtown Mini in Orlando. What a good guy! The only reason I went with Downtown was that it was closer to Daytona.

 

My MA is Justin. Tom Bush has been good to me thus far!



anyone know where our boat is?

 

I was on vesseltracker.com and they have a ship tracker with a map under the ship info. I hope that I have the wrong fidelio as two were listed but next to the map it says the map on the left shows the delayed fidelio. Please dont let it be.

 

Hey guys! I'm here too!

I was able to pull up a track on the ship last night. But it wouldn't connect this morning.

vesseltracker shows the Patriot as delayed also, but it shows it in the middle of the channel, which is the wrong direction for the ship to travel. I think that it is a default message until they have an update.

 

I was able to find the Fidelio this morning, looks like it's about where it should be.

Great this is been on my mind all day, But I have not been by my computer until now. Thanks for putting my mind at ease.

 

10 days and counting

 

I wonder how many days it'll take to clear VDC.... Arrives in NY on 6/14 then needs to get to Prestige Mini in NJ....I'm hoping to pay for it with this check from PenFed before the 25th of June to ensure I get the 4.25% rate.

What do you think....

 

I'm hoping to arrange delivery on Wed. the 18th, because I wont be able to pick it up until the 22nd if I don't get it then (Plus I want to go to MTTS!). I've left a voicemail for Dan, my MA, we'll see. I can't imagine it taking too long at the VDC and Prestige is only 40ish miles north!
