tracking the roc... a fine art

Just an update on the boat situation.

Spoke to dealer today, he said that a boat sailed on monday 30/11, another on sailed today 02/12, and that there are two more scheduled to sail on saturday 05/12.

Hopefully mine was on todays!!

Looks as if they are increasing the frequency of shipments in the run upto xmas!!

Also, does anyone know whether the boats are coming from Lisbon, or are the coming in from Emden?? :?

Judging by this website: http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

it would seem that the Monday boat left ok, and the wednesday boat left aswell. But both from Emden, not from Lisbon like seems to have been talked about before. Can anyone shed any light on this mystery??? :?

If they're coming from Emden, how are they getting there from Portugal??

I know, painfully slow, sailing at her normal speed like the rest out there. No chance of a speeding ticket. :faint:

Thanks Rob, I had been watching those. I was just posting when I had that strange Norfolk virus attack on my PC again! :lol:

Hopefully VW's Palmela, Portugal Factory production weeks 47 and 48 on board.

And thanks for the earlier guidance and training Rob.

Hope the rest of you have enjoyed.
