COURAGE, EB712-COG, set sail on 3/20

krapnoj · 03-22-2007, 08:29 AM

hey i kno VaBMWLooker and myself are on the Courage, as we just found out recently!

Anybody else sailing on this beast with us??

VaBMWLooker · 03-22-2007, 08:53 AM

Great News!!!! Glad to be sailing with you. And thanks for opening the Courage thread - I was going to do it at home tonight when I had more time for appropriate creativity. Hope we find some company on the good ship Courage.

STE92VE · 03-22-2007, 09:20 AM

Glad you're finally on the water!

Have a safe trip!

VaBMWLooker · 03-22-2007, 09:54 AM

I'll be plagerizing your map sources to keep an eye on it - wouldn't want the radar blip to suddenly disappear.....

STE92VE · 03-22-2007, 10:07 AM

Be my guest...if you need any help, just ask. :rocks:

SoonToBimmer · 03-22-2007, 10:54 AM

I finally made it aboard a ship. About 3 more weeks and my baby will be home.

I'm glad for you guys . . . I, on the other hand, did not make it on the Courage as far as I can tell. I have finally, at least, "arrived at the Port of Exit" so hopefully I will be on a ship in the next few days . . . The wait is excruciating. Meanwhile, my CA tells me the dealer got in two E93s yesterday - one 328 and one 335. He describes them as "the launch cars . . . not for sale." Meanwhile, my E93 - - built over two weeks ago - - is just getting to the port.

VaBMWLooker · 03-22-2007, 11:50 AM

Seems the E93's move slowly (see my signature - 2 weeks between completion and getting waterborne). Keep checking the next day or so - my status didn't change until this morning, even though Courage set sail on Tuesday.

Welcome aboard - the bar's open!!!

VaBMWLooker · 03-22-2007, 12:01 PM

Checked Sailex - last position was as of March 11, so either she sank, or isn't one of Sailex's favorite ships. I'll try to pull a Ste92ve and register for vesseltracker to post what I find on her later tonight.

Courage will make thru any storm or iceberg that flies at her! (i hope...) but thx for givin us an update already!

We look forward to hearin about her status tonite!

VaBMWLooker · 03-22-2007, 12:54 PM

As Ste92ve has pointed out, there are different tracking tools depending on whether the ship is bouncing around Northern Europe or crossing the Atlantic. Courage is still in northern Europe, and has left Antwerp on its way to Zeebrugge tomorrow, then Southampton on Saturday before heading our way. I'll see what I can come up with.

VaBMWLooker · 03-22-2007, 03:55 PM

I found Courage - it's anchored outside of Antwerp at this point.

Ste92ve - how do I get a screenshot of vesseltracker.com??? I can't get it to grab the map for cut and paste.

STE92VE · 03-22-2007, 04:11 PM

Hold down CTRL and then press Print SCRN....open up your paint shop or whatever you use and then select edit, paste as new image.

Name the file and save it, and upload to whatever photo server you use.

WELCOME to the party! Almost home my friend, almost home!

if u would like there r options of drug induced coma that i just posted earlier... coma = no torture.

benMW holla · 03-22-2007, 05:22 PM

this COURAGE thread seems more official and that drug induced coma sounds nice right about now, il talk to my street pharmacist about that. SEE YA GUYS NEXT WEEK!

blak/red+tha egle in midl · 03-22-2007, 06:13 PM

i just found out earlier 2day im on courage as well. and i thought my car wouldnt get on a ship till next week. im so excited i cant wait, i think this is the best partof the wait. and hey vabmw which dealership did u order from

VaBMWLooker · 03-22-2007, 08:42 PM

Can't find Courage on my maps at this point - she was moving from Antwerp towards the coast and Zeebrugge earlier this afternoon, but can't spot her now. I assume she's on schedule to dock in Zeebrugge tomorrow. Maybe I can get a bead on her there.

Welcome aboard, BenMWHolla & blak/red+tha egle in midl

Mines coming via Crown BMW - guessing you're in Midlo and Richmond BMW???
