Are any of you on the Falstaff? It left Monday, gets to NY on the 21st, and I think the call sign is SLCO. I can't find the ship on any weather tracking sites. Has anyone else found it?

I just hope my baby isn't seasick right now!

My baby is on the Falstaff too. I am in MD eagerly waiting. Anyboby have guesses about time from NY to Baltimore MD. I feel like I have been waiting forever and sure would like to timebox my anxiety period.

I'm pretty sure I'm on the Falstaff as well. At least I still show as "loaded" on the WW site.

Also, you've got the call sign correct, but I don't think that the Falstaff reports weather...thus it won't show on any of the tracking sites. None that I've found at least.

Money down/order placed on 7/10/02.
Production number by 7/12/02.
Produced on 8/7/02 or 8/8/02.
Probably shipped on the Falstaff on 8/12/02

So, I should get the car within 6 - 8 weeks of the dealer (Habberstad MINI in NY) placing the order...and they placed the order on the day that I phoned my order. Yes, all of this has been done by phone...I drove the car at a more local (MA) dealer that wanted me to wait 9 - 12 MONTHS before seeing a car that they'd order. Obviously I'll go to MA for service -- the service aspect of my local dealer has been rated well on this site...as opposed to the sales which IMO stinks.
