Following the 'Turtles' (Tortugas)

svache · 02-29-2012, 03:25 AM

Ehmmm.. something is not right here.. I wonder if those pirates have anything to do with it...

DEPARTURE of ship: TORTUGAS
Port: SOUTHAMPTON

Ehmm.. We were not scheduled to leave until 8 PM!!!

Plus look at this weird route we traveled? (edit: we're in the bottom of this image)

idk, a 4 hour stop seems a bit short if you ask me :S

svache · 02-29-2012, 03:27 AM

Ok, who is playing with the tracking system?

We're still in port, nor did we sail over some docks, nobody worry..

edit: but if you have to believe marine traffic, we're now entering port for the second time lol.. I swear, someone is playing with the tracking system there! lol

edit 2: I just received another mail from marine traffic:

Was it just going around for a walk or something? Geez

svache · 02-29-2012, 04:41 PM

Seems those pirates are still holding us hostage.. we're now scheduled to leave March 1 at around 4 PM local time.

lol I doubt it, it's no Rustbucket King

The tides could be wrong, perhaps a delay in (un)loading, making it too late to still sail out, or some other setback. If it had a leak, it wouldn't go out tomorrow either

That'll buff right out.

Little update: our ship has gone off the radar

I guess we'll have to wait until it pops up in Panama =)

You son of a b****! Go on now, geet. Just remember: Svachey and I will be driving our new wheels picking up hotties while your Rust Bucket is still in port. Well, if you don't get left behind again that is...

Want some more hilarious things? I ordered the car in it's current configuration because there was a big chance we would move to Europe.. however, as it is now, we are likely to make an offer on a Hawaii property tomorrow instead... yay for the cold weather package in Hawaii

Of course I could cancel my order and make a different one but.. idk, don't feel much like waiting another 2 months lol

Let's be honest though, when the next ice age comes - you're gonna be happy you have warm seats and your steering wheel will be warm
