That must've been one hell of a storm!! Can you imagine the wave that pushed our boat more than halfway across that huge island.
Ouch! Anyone up for chartering a plane and joining me on a resuce mission?

The one off Southwest Freeway. Do you know how long it has taken others for their cars to get off the boat and get to Houston?

I think I may have found her. If you assume that our tipsy crew typed in 77 degrees in the Latitude vs. 47 degrees (in line with her last reported accurate latitude), then you get the location marked on the left. The location marked on the right is her last position so it looks plausible (about 400 distance).

I just checked in on the tread for vessel INTEGRETY, that departed 6/4, that is 8 days before FREEDOM. Some people on that boat got there cars TODAY..

So, if all works well and consitent with the INTEGRETY timeline, some of us should have cars 8 days from now, around Mon Jul 2nd (unless they deliver on Saturdays, which in the optimal case could be Sat May 30th)

Cross fingers and pray to the car delivery gods!

I think our cars are okay!



You guys talking about taking delivery on the 2nd is getting me all impatient My car doesn't even get off the ship until the 30th. Whatever, the moment will come soon enough!

Mine's getting off in Charleston as well. I'm having a rear spoiler put on which I've been told takes two additional days I think the 4th or 5th is a bit optimistic for me. Maybe by Sat the 7th.
