Getting The Second Container Loaded
Several weeks after sending the first container, the second was
loaded and shipped November 25th. Thank goodness Phil Shires took over the task of arranging for and bird-dogging the
shipping company with lots of requisite details, paper work, etc. He'd had some prior experience with ocean
shipping, so he knew the ropes and really did a bang up job. Thanks Phil!
The first container took a slow boat (to save a few $) but
this one will go "express" meaning they'll both probably arrive in Christchurch in late December, within days of each other.
Larry Detrich tells us that things will "kinda' shut down" there during the Holidays, so he may not be able to get them out
of customs and unloaded until early January, but in plenty of time for the first race on the 31st of January.
So, phase one is now complete and now it's just a matter of
anxiously awaiting our late January trip. In the meantime, many thanks to Larry who will have his hands full receiving
all our "stuff" and finding a home for six race cars and all the attendant junk until we get there. Good on
ya',
Larry.
