Drewbo, can you please inform us if the Captain has taken his/her first piss on the voyage?

Hopefully he uses a urine drainage bag.

He needs to be on the bridge.

Well, after that false start yesterday, Faust is finally underway and en-route to Savannah.

The Faust is traveling at 18.0 knots

Faust is pretty close to Savannah now and will be docking there shortly

I asked Ford Australia (via their Facebook page) whether my car would be offloaded in Melbourne, what would happen to it there, and how it would get to Perth. This is the reply I received:

Hi Ian, ships that were carrying the first batch of Mustangs had unloaded at multiple ports in Australia, but we don't expect that shipping schedule to continue in the foreseeable future. The Faust will be docking in Port Melbourne, where it will go through its Australian customs / quarantine check and a quality check by us before delivery to your selling dealer (by rail and/or truck, depending on which method is quicker).

Well I am glad our cars are keeping company - safety in numbers.
No one has said it yet I don't think, so I will
'May the Faust be with you!':lol::lol::lol:

Thanks for that Ian (Fremantle for me too). When I spoke to them, they said they don't offload/delivery to Fremantle - and I pointed out to her that the first load actually did offload in Fremantle. She said probably rail - but I don't know if she actually knew anything. Guess they are trying to speed it up abit, I noticed it takes the ship another 5 days from Melbourne to Fremantle, so rail /road would be quicker eh.

I'm hoping the same holds true for us Brisbane deliveries.
I'm also hoping for 1st April delivery as it will put this whole experience into perspective... a joke!
