So close but, so far, no car…
Well …… After a restless night of sleep in Roosendaal, Monday has dawned clear and fine with normal pre-winter nothern Euro gloom.
We arrived at Marlog Car Handling, on schedule just after 7.30am We were greeted by Dominique, who has been hardworking in his efforts to unravel the shipping errors originating in Long Beach. This mornings bad news is:- Lost container! A driver was at the dock pre-dawn to collect the pre-cleared container and bring it the 45 minutes to the Marlog yard. So we are now enjoying Marlog hospitality while they try to locate the container and fast track it to Roosendaal. Countdown clock is ticking, the Garmin is showing us 23hr 45 min driving to Algeciras, our target is the 11.00am ferry tomorrow! Stay tuned, could be a taxing day.

Still no word on whether the car is in Rotterdam or the UK. The ship should have arrived Tilbury at 8:00 this morning so hopefully they'll find it!
That must be one very pissed off driver. I hope they find his car in good time…
I can't imagine the frustration, especially having spent months building it.
Car is definately not in Rotterdam. Should arrive UK tonight if it is on the ship. Earliest availability tomorrow afternoon. AARGH!
If it is on the ship?? They still don't know where it is? That is terrible news!
