Oh, and ps, the ship tracking site has had issues all day, at least for me. Unable to connect. It's been the only thing to keep me going at work.

 

Bah! It seems everything is getting pushed back here and there :( I just know I'll get a call from my MA as I'm boarding the plane to go on vacation. I need it the weekend before!!!!

 

Ditto - kept hoping for an update . . .

 

Woo Hoo - first stop in sight! Cheers to all of you who will be off-loaded today.

 

Called the port last night and we're due in at 4pm today.

 

YAYAYAYAYAY!!! Cannot wait another second!

Still in disbelief that it's nearly here after waiting for it for so VERY long, but also that it has to sit at the $%#^&! dealer until the 14th!

I'm seriously getting off work early that day to go and get it, right Mozza?

 

I'm checking the Metro-North train schedule for the 14th to see how soon we can get up there and pick it up

 

Let's just not go in to work at all that day .

 

Yeah! Let's play hooky from work! I'm in!

 

Where is the boat? Is it at the port in NJ yet???

 

I have no idea. I think Mozza needs to ring them again and find out for sure.

 

Ok so why does the boat look like it's getting further away and not closer? Or is it just sitting in the same spot for 2 days now?


I checked here http://traffic.nymaritime.org/ and it looks like the Courage still hasn't docked in NJ yet :( Sigh, it's taking forever!!!!!!!!!

 

Anybody have any news? Have we docked? Are we unloaded?!

 

No and no. at least not according to http://traffic.nymaritime.org/

 

Maybe it ran out of gas and is just drifting back to England

 

According to the NY Maritime we docked shortly after 4am...

 

Okay folks, NYC is where I get off. Have fun with your new Mini and drive safe!

If you have a JCW on this boat and haven't done so already, come join us in the "OFFICIAL R56 FACTORY JCW" thread in 2nd Generation Coupe Talk located here ...

See you all

 

How odd is this from the WW site. Either it's a goof or they docked and had to be moved.

I'm off the boat too guys, it's been a pleasure and everybody enjoy your MINI's!

 

I'm still on the ship hoping to get to Charleston this week.
No way am I getting my car before I leave on vacation with all these delays. Sigh :( it isn't scheduled to get to Charleston until 07/09

this is taking forever!!

 

I'm off in Jersey City, too. It's been a pleasure 'sailing' with all of you.

Happy Motoring!

 

So am I the only one going to Charleston?? hello? anyone??

 

I'm here! Waiting, waiting.

 

So it looks like we left NY yesterday and are on the way to Baltimore MD tomorrow and then on to Charleston on the 8th

 

No update from the Captain since the 2nd :( Grrrrrr.

I did find the information from the port of Charleston and the Courage is scheduled to arrive on the 8th :D at the Union Pier Terminal
