Their new release (http://www.kline.com/KAMCarCarrier/S...g_Schedule.pdf) also has a 13 day voyage.

To get from Southhampton to C town in 8 days is pushing it. I have noticed the Port of Charleston schedule doesnt really update. ahalibut said the EMDEN arrived and departed Southampton on the 17th, 4 days later than scheduled. Too bad they are not turning on their tracking. I do wish you the best but didnt want you to have an aneurysm when it's not on time. I do hope it is.

On another note, the INTEGRITY is making the final approach to the NE. We'll all be happy soon enough!

My MA said Charleston on the 27th which is another 6-7 days.....not bad. Blu....here's the tracking site and the call letters are A8IV9....they haven't updated since the 18th though. I wish I had a globe so I could see Lat and long and "see" a location. I'm just happy we're on the way!!!!

You do know the Conti EMDEN callsign you quote above is giving a position from JUNE and not July dont you? The other EMDEN (3ERP5) is steaming out of the UK and seems more appropriate given the scenario. I can imagine 7 days to Charleston if it doesnt stop in Baltimore first.

If you think 2 EMDENs is confusing, try typing in INTEGRITY!!! It took me an hour to figure out which one we were.

I am a little worried they are like teenagers at their first dance.

The car carrier Emden does have the call sign of 3ERP5 and shows up on tracking at sailwx info. Next departure date out of Southhampton is 08/10/2007.

Who said they even made it to the boat a virgin?

I am not trying to be a pig or anything. We have determined that our little baby is a girl, too. I am just worried for all of us parents of little girls. From what I understand, though, ours is a fiesty one and will receive an appropriate name (TBA).

Yeah. Talk about an over-the-hill nasty no new design since he came out dirty old man! They just keep smoothing over the wrinkles on this old frame! Come on, show some imagination at some point over, what? 18 years since its release!!!!

Oh dear, I knew "sitting on the dock of the bay" for 6 days would be risky. Perhaps your little Pepper was fiesty enough but Saffron would just say "quite right, Slick!!

What a !$@*&$. Maybe she didnt get the right software loaded into her OBC! That's what I would blame it on for sure. Not on her mother. I mean, how are you supposed to raise a child away from home?

Docks do have a history of being pretty sketchy places. If it was gonna happen it was gonna happen there.

I'm fully aware that my sassy little car may have "matured" a bit while hanging out at the docks--after all--6 days all by herself with no mommas around--heck--I'd be feeling a little frisky!

I bet that's why they "prep" them at the dealership....removing all evidence of improper behavior. I want full accountability!!!! No fair her having more fun on a cruise than I did.

As long as she's in one piece and ready to motor--I'm good to go. She had better have played safe!

They are making progress. I'm going to the library tomorrow to look at a globe to see where the juvenile delinquents are in relationship to the USA.

Geez, I could WALK it from OH in that length of time!!! :impatient Maybe it really IS a cruise ship!!! I wonder how they determine what port to offload each car. Since I'm in OH Charleston is the farthest away from here.
