Y'all remember the "COURAGE" - the one that landed a bunch of smashed up M3's at New York last year? Well guess which ship my E90 is on? Yep. And it looks like it is headed into the teeth of Hanna.

I've been tracking on the ship tracker (sailwx) and while wave height still shows 1 metre (is there guage broken?) the wind speed is humping up to 25 knots. And my stomach is in similar knots!

I knew that the waiting would be hard, but did Mother Nature have to kick it up a notch (BAM!) for me like that?

I'm sure this is payback of sorts for my flagrant violation of the 12 hour posting rule. So all you other noobs beware the fate that awaits.

:eek:

Dave.

Perhaps the Komittee could use their influence over mother nature if you posted an in-depth report with lots of pics :dunno:

Mine came over on the Courage in the latter half of June 2008 without incident. Hopefully the same happens for you!

All turned out well. Dropped off on August 14 and picked up from my dealer in Houston on September 24. Bearing in mind that the 14th preceeded a holiday and a weekend, that's pretty snappy.

That's about 2 weeks from discharge, and that included the repair of a small hickey on the back bumper. I'm impressed.
