Three days until CP0.0

i don’t think I ever waiting on Xmas with this much focus, as a small child. But then, Xmas didn’t have the wild cards of Mrs Klaus canceling due to marital issues, the sleigh catching on fire, or expansionist elves from next door taking over the workshop. (No disrespect intended)

Now I'm really chomping on the bit. I know.

It looks like the Grand Legacy is headed south/west (and probably not taking my Spyder with it) but vessel finder doesn't show Emden as a port on this trip. Could it be headed back north to Emden after sitting at anchor off Brugges for a while?

Can anyone post a link to the most up to date info on the vessel situation? This one seems dated and the dates have certainly shifted from what's shown.

You and me both! Waiting for next ship to Baltimore.
As a kid I sailed alot on the Eastern Shore. The channel is quite narrow just before the turn for the Baltimore light, so we used to sail just outside of it to see the Cargo ships make the turn.
Just relieved at this point that Adrift's car won't be on our ship, or it would likely drift off course into the Aberdeen Proving Grounds and get shelled. (and I don't mean oyster shelled)

The above-referenced schedule was I believe an internal communication that someone shared once it was posted on another board.
Just took a look at what's in the Port of Emden right now, and I didn't see anything promising yet.

Apparently my boat is going to go for a loop on land or drop my car off. This apparently is also going to delay my car a month.

TYD shenanigans!

SFL Conductor is, apparently, arriving at Davisville tomorrow with at least four of "our" Porsches.

I still haven't received anything that's a pointer to the "production photos" that some of you have posted here. Do you have to use "an app" to get those?

Interesting video on the Port of Emden I have not seen posted here before:
Seaport Emden -- The Universal Port: https://www.seaport-emden.de/en/aktu...seaport-video/
Our cars go via train to the port, so I'm thinking the car train they show may be the same. Evidently it back hauls imports as well.
The VW plant looks massive.
Based upon recent Marine Traffic mapping it seems the RoRos for our cars are often docked and loaded at the wharf outside the inner harbor, adjacent to the wind farm.

(Viewing tip -- turn down the sound)

I’m trying to secretly have my car brought over on a different ship than was originally planned, in case Fate has proactively pre-doomed the original vessel.

For all you boat watchers, for a car supposed to CP8.0 on April 1, going through Emden, what ship should it make, headed to Houston? Any insights appreciated.
