Looks like I'm riding with you guys...finally! Mine was done last Friday, just missed a boat that left last week, and has been hanging around the docks ever since. Lord knows what kind of bad habits it's picked up in the last week or so...

Week 23 actually that got bumped to start in 21, completion in 22. If they'd finished it one day sooner it would be seasick today! Oh well, it's all about the anticipation and my dealer's loaning me a car since my lease is up before the new arrival...

Clubman "S", Dark Silver/Black, sport, cold weather, MF steering, Sirius, HiFi, auto AC, wipers, anthracite headliner and some other minor stuff. My dealer was short on allocations, so I've been waiting since the end of April when I placed the order. It's starting to feel like Christmas, although it's still a few weeks away...

ooks like that shipping PDF that subzero made showed the patriot leaving in the 6th.

However based on Arrivals and Departures:
http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/shipping_movments.asp

When you look at the ships, it lists the patriot arriving tomorrow and leaving tomorrow. The 7th.

Also my booking shows the 7th.. When i click details for the shipping: (clickable next to "voyage")
Voyage Details

Vessel: PATRIOT

We leave in a few hours time, how are your estate rooms? Altoid is loving his king size bed and complimentary fridge stocked with beer.

i think it is because the Patriot started it's voyage May 6th, we are just part of the trip. But I agree, it should be changed to June 7th (since it leaves today).

I followed the radar as the Patriot left Southampton, but she is no longer within range of the docks. I am unsure of how to track it now.

chap, keep checking this link.

The next time the Patriot does a weather report, it will show up here.

http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...html?call=WQVY

The last report right now was may 27th before she got near land.
