There's another thread about the Courage but I thought I'd create one like the others of it's ilk so it looked all official like. So who's swarthy swashbuckling MINI's made it on to this impregnable fortress of a ship?

Port of entry:

NY:
1. Mozza&gillmoli.
2. SmokeM.
3. NJ Clubman.
4. Jdrosdeck.

Baltimore:

Charleston:
1. jjp007.
2. Mrs. Zoom.
3. dix123br.

Brunswick:

Unknown:
1. Berilon.

 

Yay! I'm so excited that I can now post on NAM! I'm even MORE excited that our (Mozza and me) Mini is en route!

 

Welcome and congrats on your Mini! SAFE CRUISING....BOAT CRUISING THAT IS :D

 

I may go see it in Jersey City. I know I won't be able to sit still by next week.

Thanks for getting me on the list. Happy to be shipmates with all of you.

 

These are going to be the longest two weeks of my life. I'm coming in through NY

 

Welcome!

As a sidenote our captain sucks for giving location updates. According to sailwx.info the last position check in was not long after leaving port on Monday. Check in Captain A......Hab.

 

At least he is giving sailwx updates. FEDORA has been dead silent, Thank goodness for the stop in Halifax.

 

We don't have a stop in Halifax so we're "all at sea" till it hits NY on the 1st of July.

 

So I guess I won't bother to try to find the Courage since it's probably pretty far out to sea now :D

Yes, I am a lot more calm knowing it's on the boat on its way, even if it will probably take another 2 1/2 to 3 weeks to get to me.

 

Hey, we got an update!!!! Courage is on her way.

 

Yep, looks like he's going to update every 2 days or so. Next update it will nearly be here!

 

I notice the update happened at 6am on the 26th of June. However does anybody know what 6am means? 6am where? 6am BST because it left from Southampton? 6am in the middle of the atlantic? Or 6am EST because that's it's destination. I know it's trivial but I'm bored.

 

Grenwich Mean Time?

 

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)
UTC is also the time system used in aviation, referred to as Zulu.[12] Weather reports, flight plans, air traffic control clearances, and maps all use UTC to avoid confusion about time zones and daylight saving time.

 

"Grenwich Mean Time?"

Yeah that's what I figured but the truth is once it's left Southampton, where you'd certainly assume it was BST(British Summer Time), it's impossible to tell unless you check for an update within the 5 hours(time difference between here and the UK) immediately after they've checked in.....ARGH...I'm obsessing way too much.

 

As usual OWG has the answer.

 

Hey, cool! Learned something while waiting - and waiting - and waiting. . .

 

And waiting....and waiting....and waiting.... *sigh*

I wish they'd put the pedal to the metal and get here already. Mozza's driving me nuts!

 

Me? Driving you nuts? Pfft, I'm a virtual modicum of patience and serene calmness.

 

You're too funny.

 

****taps fingers on the desk*** what do I do now that I'm not stalking the OL or calling MINI for updates???

 

Why, shop for mods of course.

 

I'm not a mod'er unless you call shopping for seat covers mod's.

 

Sure they can be considered mods! My CooperFlags boot badge holder arrived yesterday . . . now I just need a boot!

 

Where did you order boot badge holder from?
