Hey, don't know if you're a Jazz fan but congrats on the win over Golden State tonight, they just won 112-116!!

ecgiinla · 05-08-2007, 06:33 AM

ahem, no jazz love on this board. or, whatever, its irrelevant b/c neither team can take the heat from the sun(s)! i dont suspect, frag, you will disagree.

meanwhile, have you all been reading the many insane posts about bmw production woes. no more convertibles or coupes till fall! it could all be very sensational and unfounded, but tell me you are not glad you got your order in when you did. i have a shameful case of schadenfreude.

lastly, tragedy on cinco de mayo weekend. co-worker 1 took delivery of her convertible and a day later -- dude runs into it. co-worker 2 has been driving his 335 coupe for a few months now -- several dudes in an escalade (the horror of the size mis-match...) run into it. conclusion: if you live in southern california, do not drive on cinco de mayo weekend. perhaps on any holiday weekend....and this is why i should lease and not buy, im already afraid to have the thing!!!

On the latest map? I think they're messing with us now. Do they not know the fastest way between two points is a STRAIGHT line?

Ya the Jazz....

hahaha I have disliked the Jazz for a long, long time. Could not stand Malone the

baby.
Nah they are ok now that they have gotten rid of some players, but I still dont watch them. Got better things to do, such as, look for goodies for my new car, play some golf :rocks: and hang out with my kids and wifey.

It would be nice to see them when a championship one year though.... right

There hasn't been an update since that one either.

fragadellic · 05-09-2007, 01:08 AM

Well I don't have any definite information, but if you look at the WW ship which is ahead of Carmen, the Turandot, it stopped reporting on May 2, before it docked in Brunswick, Georgia. It then set sail for the Panama Canal and Port Hueneme. It's already been through the Panama Canal and is due in PH on May 15, a week from today.

I wouldn't be surprised if Carmen doesn't report again. Those assholes at WW must be telling their ships to stop reporting shortly before they get to the Panama Canal.

Oh, and those assholes at WW don't answer inquiries submitted via their website, so they can KISS MY ASS.

I don't care if they are reporting voluntarily. That's not the point.

tadders · 05-09-2007, 08:27 AM

Looks like we are still making progress....about to split the difference between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic

fragadellic · 05-10-2007, 02:13 AM

The latest update from Sailwx.info as of 11pm PST

I just realized something else...

We're officially HALF WAY!!!!!!

24 day voyage, and today (Thursday) is day 12!!!!

BUT...this weather looks pretty bad. That red storm cell is heading toward the Panama Canal area.

fragadellic · 05-10-2007, 09:29 AM

Making nice time now...

snohman · 05-10-2007, 01:15 PM

Wow...
I go out of town on business...and look at all this.
Congrats on the halfway point Carmen people!

Some stupid storm in Dallas caused us to have to land in Shreveport, LA to refuel (we were circling for clearance to land and started running low on fuel).
Missed our connection and got in at 2am this morning

I go in to sign my papers for my ED tomorrow, hopefully he has my ipod/usb cable so i can take it on our trip!

fragadellic · 05-10-2007, 03:48 PM

Yeah, we're movin' along nicely now.

And the current weather satellite.

speedgod · 05-10-2007, 09:06 PM

Drat.... looks like she is in a holding status, till the storm moves out

cwn23 · 05-10-2007, 09:11 PM

Hey Fragadellic is it possible you can post the Integrity with the call sign
WDC6925 position like you did with the Carmen vessel....It would be greatly appreciated!! You seem to be the only one that has access to that website, I cannot for the life of me get onto that site!!!! thanks if you can

tadders · 05-10-2007, 10:03 PM

CNW23 : Here you go....and the URL is: http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...l?call=WDC6925

fragadellic · 05-11-2007, 02:22 AM

Ok, this is rediculous. It looks like the ship was hijacked and is now in Columbia on a river or something. Maybe they made a data entry typo when the reported the ship's position? Hope they get that sorted out...

The ship should be at the Panama Canal by 11:00am PST.

It's just about time for everyone to start watching the Panama Canal webcams and try to catch the ship going through...

tadders · 05-11-2007, 08:29 AM

Which lock will it go through first? Milaflores or Gatun

We would have to get the captain with no sense of direction, huh? It's not like the wait isn't bad enough...And to think..we are actually PAYING to go through this!

Repeat to self..."it WILL be worth it..it WILL be worth it..."

The Gatun locks are at the north end of the canal, so they are first. There is a pretty cool item on Wikipidia on the Panama Canal including a diagram of the entire canal you can click on.

fragadellic · 05-11-2007, 05:56 PM

There is a cool animation of how the Panama Canal works at:

fragadellic · 05-11-2007, 07:59 PM

Well, despite the fact that the ship's location on sailwx.info shows about 70 miles inland in Columbia (morons), it has actually transitioned and departed the Panama Canal according to the WW website:

10 more days to Port Hueneme!!!
