Elektra!!!

plien69 · 03-25-2008, 08:58 AM

I found the sailwx site to be flaky at best.

reo5001 · 03-25-2008, 10:08 AM

Thats what i am hoping for..I remember the one time it said the boat was on top of Canada. The only problem is that the Wallenius website keeps pushing back the estimated arrival date.

PhAzE · 03-25-2008, 11:07 AM

I think I need to stop checking the position of the ship..... Its dangerous to my health.... Just got to wait it out a few more weeks.

reo5001 · 03-25-2008, 11:09 AM

I know, I am doing the same thing, sigh I wish the tracking website was never found

djmBMW · 03-25-2008, 06:55 PM

I'm hooked at looking at the stupid Sail site and getting more frustrated every time there's nothing new. Everything was perfect from tracking perspective after leaving Germany until now. I feel like a I'm being courted by a drug dealer.

reo5001 · 03-25-2008, 07:30 PM

Haha Mac, its frustrating as hell! I just checked the southampton dock and it was not there, so hopefully they are just forgetting to check in and or the system is screwy. Lets hope its midway through the Atlantic!

mrgoochio · 03-25-2008, 10:04 PM

Darn! My car finished production on 3/19, I obviously didn't make this vessel :P

PhAzE · 03-25-2008, 10:59 PM

grrrr.... why haven't they updated yet? lol i think i'm on crack

djmBMW · 03-26-2008, 12:42 AM

Reo...yes.. I'm waiting for the next SIWB sighting off the shores of North America! Oneth by Sea as Paul Revere stated!

reo5001 · 03-26-2008, 09:47 AM

Same here! Sailing site still has not updated and luckily the wallenius site has not updated either...What port is your car getting off at?

PhAzE · 03-26-2008, 11:44 AM

I just checked the website and apparently SIWB went back to Belgium on the 23rd? What is going on?

reo5001 · 03-26-2008, 01:25 PM

Wow you are correct...it went back to BELGIUM after hitting open seas...wow...Still says the 2nd of April as NY port *Crosses Fingers*

reo5001 · 03-26-2008, 07:54 PM

the thing I don't understand is if it reported its postion march 25th in open seas then how was it in Belgium the 23rd??

PhAzE · 03-26-2008, 11:50 PM

I'm pretty confused about that sailwx site. I'm just going to wait and see, gotta fight the addiction

reo5001 · 03-27-2008, 06:13 AM

Really bad news now...the ship never reached ANTWERP Belgium. Its scheduled to arrive there today and not leave until the third of April, worst yet it, all the other east coast ports are taken off the schedule.......this is literally the worst thing that could have happened.

djmBMW · 03-27-2008, 06:46 AM

now what???

reo5001 · 03-27-2008, 09:02 AM

I think they might unload the cargo into another ship, I don't know what else it could mean.

PhAzE · 03-27-2008, 10:35 AM

Oh man, thats some serious bad news for us on Elektra... They should load 'em all up on a plane and fly them straight to us! What bad luck we have.... If it all had gone well, it would have been in Halifax on Saturday.

reo5001 · 03-27-2008, 10:57 AM

Tell me about it phaze....I just checked wallenius schedule and they have the mignon starting fresh from Belgium around the same time. I am hoping they are unloading us on that one since elektra has no more destination ports....

PhAzE · 03-27-2008, 11:15 AM

I want to phone them and yell at them.... But then again I shouldn't even know which ship my car is on haha

reo5001 · 03-27-2008, 11:33 AM

I want to do that too but i have no clue what so ever on what number to call. If i just knew what was going on it would stop me from checking every hr...

djmBMW · 03-27-2008, 04:24 PM

No sense yelling unless you speak Swedish. Lets just hope that the outbound ships have room to carry our surprise "ones".
