Yep! see the posts under the Week 19 Support Group thread too. Courage arrives in NYCPOA on May 27. It left Southampton yesterday and is in the Eng. Channel.

I see your in my area, did you buy from Princeton too?

If so we are 1er siblings

Enjoy

Yes... I purchased at Princeton BMW from Mike Barley, he's no longer with them. I guess I need a new CA. Did you buy via ED?
It was a great trip the Welt is amazing

MTTM · 05-22-2008, 10:44 AM

I'm on the Courage too. Looks like it's been delayed though. Not going to arrive in NY until the 29th.

bobver · 05-22-2008, 02:12 PM

My wife's 135i vert is on the Courage.

i would recommend Bob Sherlock.. no bs CA which also means he's not going to coddle you but focussed on gettting you in a BMW etc.

I didnt by ED.

Where did you see it was delayed:iono:? thanks

128CTGUY · 05-22-2008, 06:32 PM

I think I am on the courage too! Can't Wait!!!!

MTTM · 05-22-2008, 08:16 PM

I saw the 29th arrival date on this website: http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...trackType=Auto
My CA thought I had a chance to get it the 31st if it docked on the 27/8th. Looking less likely now.

1stBimmer · 05-22-2008, 10:26 PM

Also on the Courage. Due into Charleston on 6/3. Only question is which gets to Louisiana first - - me (arriving back from overseas employment 6/8) or the Bimmer (??)

PL99 · 05-23-2008, 08:35 AM

Yea apparently the ship was delayed somewhere in the Atlantic since the arrival date in NY is now the 29th, not the 27th. You can also use vessel tracker since now it is updating (for me at least).

At this time the ship is right smack dab in the middle of the Atlantic. I'm just hoping I can pick up my car before the first weekend in June.

1stBimmer · 05-24-2008, 04:45 PM

Looks like a nice calm voyage for the Courage thus far. Maximum wave height is 2 meters. Approaching North America.

Vessel Tracker shows COURAGE is in China everytime I look it up. How are you entering the ship name on that site?
Thanks

Vessel: COURAGE
Port Country Arrival Departure
ANTWERP BELGIUM 13/05/2008 14/05/2008
BREMERHAVEN GERMANY 15/05/2008 17/05/2008
ZEEBRUGGE BELGIUM 18/05/2008 18/05/2008
SOUTHAMPTONUNITED KINGDOM 19/05/2008 19/05/2008
NEW YORK, NY U.S.A. 29/05/2008 29/05/2008

Anyone else notice that COURAGE is scheduled to arrive & depart on the same day in NY....so I'm hoping that means our cars get off the boat quickly and maybe get to the head of the line at the VPC/VDC and to the dealer sooner as a result? Wishful thinking maybe !!:wink:

But notice that the FAUST arrives in NY the same day as COURAGE, but doesn't leave NY until the next day....so maybe there are more cars to unload off the FAUST....and maybe they get to the VPC/VDC center after our cars that are on the COURAGE? Again...probably wishful thinking......but could make sense, right?:biggrin:

Vessel: FAUST
Port Country Arrival Departure
BREMERHAVEN GERMANY 15/05/2008 15/05/2008

The URL is http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shiplocations.phtml.

Click on Ship Tracker. Click on Find Specific Ship by Name or Call Sign. In the search box entitled "Search for One Ship by Name," type in Courage. Click on the 10th name in the list, which is the third "Courage." Call sign is WDC6907. The first time (May 20) I looked at this, they put in the wrong longitude, and the ship was somewhere on land north of Lake Huron. But after that they got the longitude right and as of 0500 on May 25 the ship is at http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...8.4&radius=200. Good luck.

Also....anyone have success with the "2 week free trial" at this AIS LIVE tracking site?:

http://www.aislive.com/

I applied for it, but never got a reply from the site.

looks like COURAGE is almost back on schedule: they just bumped her arrival in NYC up a day, from 5/29 to TODAY 5/28 !! Now we're a full day ahead of FAUST. Hopefully that gets our cars through the prep center quicker
