FRANCONIA Puts to sea... never was able to find a picture of her.
OMG, she's a LARGE GIANT TRIANGLE!

Well done! I think it's all the rust inhibitor recently applied. I saw that you ship was heading to dry dock after delivering tomorrow at Chaleston... Seems about time!!!

Agreed!

If this is our ship, here is the WX track info link
http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...tml?call=3FWI7

Should probably report overnight. Right now it shows the last return voyage to mid-Atlantic.

Is it soup yet? Did you dock and deliver? Did Bean fall through a rusted-out section and have to swim ashore??

I think he fell through a rusted-out section. I hope he had his water wings on. I have the site up, but it hasn't shown docked yet. It's crazy most MINIs on the ship have EDD's already, Bean just has MIA.

Let us know when you get an EDD, and are unloaded!

I found the FRANCONIA. I think the triangle looked better.

BTW, Bean isn't the only one that has had detention:

ME? Don't know! I have an estimated delivery date of 8/7, so I should be getting it as late as next week. I had the EDD as early as the weekend, so I'm assuming (like mamarazzi suggested?) that I disembarked in NY. I can't check up on Bean, though .

The Andes stopped in Baltimore & Charleston. I finally got a EDD of 8/9 today. Sorry for the late reply I've been on the road. Won't be back home till tomorrow. I still show En Route. We must be off the ship!

Sweet! Based on the feedback from my MA, I don't expect to get my MINI any sooner than 8/8~10, it's quite possible, if yours soars through the VDC, that you'll get yours first.

Hope that 8/9 date holds for you!

Hang in there. Sounds as though you'll have that new beauty next week. Here's hoping!

Hooray! My MA had details available to him finally showing that I did indeed get loaded on K-Line's FRANCONIA (the Big Green Triangle) on Monday 8/1 and due in Charelston on the 15th.

Even with a Bill of Lading number and a cross-ref number I can't seem to get the K-Line tracking site to give up the information.

Seems that most all of the vehicles that were waiting for AIDA must have loaded on to FRANCONIA. Anybody else??

Thanks!

Good news - checked with the Automated Robot @ ASK MINI, it says @ port awaiting transport. The live person said it could very well be on it's way. :smile: He even said the EDD is when the MINI is supposed ot arrive @ the dealership!

A bit disappointed my MA told me otherwise : ( Hopefully she is only doing it for my health (ie, telling me later so the "last" week goes by easier).
