This seams a little strange... ocean freighters that carry sea containers
run like clock work and they don't "never make it" to a port city they are
destinated for unless they sink!

I've heard from Peter at Tiico regarding the wherabouts of my engine.  The
freighter carrying it from South Africa never made it to Galveston, Texas.
It arrived unexpected in New York City.   The container with my engine in
it was trucked from NYC to Galveston. Soon my globetrotting engine will be
shipped from Texas to Baltimore, MD, where I will put it in my Vanagonb.
Good things come to those who wait.  Thanks.
