I'm on the BOHEME!
May 27th is the next stop in NYC. Maybe I can go watch the ship pull into port?? Anybody know the whole security thing? i'm sure it's tight. Oh well.
I'm PSYCHED!

 

I, too, am loaded on the Boheme! Call sign SIVY. Expected arrival 27/05/2005! YAY!

 

Yeah, we can tell! That's awesome......won't be long now!!!!

 

Wasn't that the one that just sank, they had on CNN?

 

That is SOO not nice... hehe... especially since the Takasago is still at sea for a couple more days and my MCS is on it! hehe...

 

From the BBC website:



[size=3] Another ship strikes sunken Channel vessel [/size][size=1]Updated 19 May 2005, 10.45

[/size][size=3]
[/size][font=sans-serif][size=2]A second vessel has struck the sunken wreck of a car transporter ship called the Boheme in the English Channel.

Investigators are trying to find out why a tanker carrying 70,000 tonnes of highly flammable oil collided with the wreck of the Boheme which sank three hours ago.

[/size][/font][font=sans-serif][size=2]The Vicky, which was on its way to New York, got stuck on the sunken car transporter for several hours, before managing to float away.



The Boheme went down with its cargo of 3,000 Mini Cooper automobiles after being hit in thick fog by a cargo freighter.

Rough seas

It was hit later by a ship called the Nicola.

The sea was rough at the time of the latest collision, but the location of the Boheme wreck is marked out in the water by luminous buoys. [/size][/font]

Just kidding - old story, names changed. Couldn't resist, sorry!

 

I, too, am on the BOHEME!

Anyone ultimately heading to MINI of Peabody?

 

No rides in my MCS for UUNetBill...

 

Dang. . .guess I'll just have to settle for riding in mine.

And of course, I just KNOW I opened myself up for some of the same abuse when our new baby comes across the pond later this year. All in good fun. . .

 

I know; have fun UUNetBill!
