Anybody else on the Don Quijote?

Got word that my vehicle is aboard the Don Quijote and should arrive in Jersey by 9/26. Meaning my car will prolly sit at the dealer in Kansas for 10 days before I get there to pick it up!!! Hopefully nobody test drives it!

Me too, I think

My car is due in port on 9/26 so I guess I'm on the same boat.

Here's the schedule for this sailing. It's the 26th and the ship should be in Halifax and it's not showing it there. I wonder if they've diverted or delayed because of the nor'easter blowing up the coast right now and the next one forecast for Sunday. I don't like the thought of my new baby being slung around in a ship pounding through 25' seas.

Weather forecast for Gulf of Maine:

HEIGHT OF THE HIGHEST 1/3 OF THE WAVES. INDIVIDUAL WAVES MAY BE

They may delay the ship in NS with the storm frankly I hope the Don Q is in port and not on the high seas during the storm however, they do have a schedule to keep to...

Is this killing anyone else? My dealer said my car would be here in Chicago between this coming Friday and Monday and the BMW site is still saying "en route". I feel like tilting at some windmills right about now.
