ON A SHIP (the Emden)!!!!!!!!!!

TP 135i · 02-06-2008, 07:02 AM

Looks like he's swinging south to avoid a storm

Weird. Maersk Wind is still steaming along. Waves are 2 feet, and wind <10mph. Smooooooth sailing.

Ok - this is cool... My dealer just told me that my car arrives in Charleston on Feb 12th... so based on this thread I am guessing I too am on the Emden....

Couple of things...

Your dealer knows which ship it's on, so if you really want to know you can ask. The Western Highway is also scheduled to arrive in Charleston on 2/12 or 2/13.

Here's the Western Highway thread.

Just checked the Port of Charleston schedule, and did not find the Emden. I called the Port, and verified arrival has been pushed back from the 10th to the 13th.

No explanation, other than Maersk Wind needed help finding its way.:biggrin:

I noticed that the Emden does not seem to have made much headway today. There is another ship, the Madrid which was behind you yesterday (see Izzo's post from yesterday) and has since caught and past the Emden.

I think that electronic LSD has seized up on the propeller shaft: They're gonna look at that at the VDC when it gets to Charleston. :wink:

Something is wrong! In the last six hours, we only went 8 nautical miles! :eyebulge: Someone needs to

: and figure out whats up. Hate to say it, but maybe the Maersk Wind needs to come get us . . . .

mikeo · 02-08-2008, 07:02 AM

Weather could be the reason...

sc135i · 02-08-2008, 07:19 AM

Called K Line, was making progress until they figured out that I was not the actual shipper.

They do not seem to be aware of a current problem, and still feel it is set to arrive in Charleston on 2/13. Time will tell.:iono:

Dudes. You are all totally insane. I have never seen anything like this thread.
