Thelonious was also born on the 16th Deuce. There is another boat scheduled to dock at Southhampton on the 23rd. Hope we both make it.

Ha ha. I was scheduled on the 4th and have been waiting for a carrier since the 14th. It doesn't look like my boat will be in Southhampton until the 27th! I guess that'll be my song, "Sitting on the dock of the bay..."

For me it was 6 weeks from the day I ordered it. Took 3 more days for me to take time to drive to the dealer....3 hours away....to get it.
