xraydoc Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Posted July 14, 2016 @Aussie Ora Between my own research and Bosco's help this is what I have learned so far... Apparently the Nordlion is a feeder ship. It runs a route called the Surabaya shuttle or the Surabaya express (SIS1). It basically runs back and forth between Surabaya and Singapore. It leaves Surabaya approximately every 6-7 days. So it has hopefully made multiple trips since dropping off my grill. Hopefully it dropped of my grill on a trip several weeks ago. From Singapore the container carrying my grill (and many others!) will be transferred to the "mothership." The mothership will continue on a route known as SE3 which bounces up the east Asia coast until crossing for Long Beach, CA. As you correctly point out, we do not know the name of the mothership. In looking at shipping schedules it appears that there are 4 boats running the SE3 route in this general time period. The Artemis, Theseus, Dallas, and Seattle. They leave in that order and arrive in Long beach at about 1 week intervals. So...... I am seriously hoping my container is on the Artemis, but I realize that is overly optimistic. If it is on the Theseus or Dallas that seems reasonable. If it is on the Seattle, I will be disappointed. All that said, just knowing it is on the mothership across the Pacific will be great! Dennis said he will get me the name of the mothership. As soon as I have it, I will post it. Go Artemis! 1
xraydoc Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Posted July 14, 2016 I thought about that. We will have to see if it made it on the boat....
Aussie Ora Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 I hope it's on the Artemis Outback Kamado Bar and Grill♨
xraydoc Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Posted July 16, 2016 I found out this morning, it is on the Theseus. Scheduled to dock in Long Beach on July 30. Hoping it will clear customs and make it across the states in time for a mid August delivery. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
bosco Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 The shipping for that boat said August 2 but I hope that it is there early for you. Well you said you just wanted to know that it was in transit and it is in transit!! very exciting
CeramicChef Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 Progress! At least you know where things are and you can follow the progress across the globe! Your KK gets closer to you every single hour.
Steve M Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 9.4 knots? Geez louise, can't this tub go any faster?
xraydoc Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Posted July 16, 2016 I hear ya guys. I would find a way to go paddle if I thought it would help. Oh well. It is on its way. Soon enough! 1
Aussie Ora Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 Great news indeed Outback Kamado Bar and Grill♨

xraydoc Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Posted July 20, 2016 It's making it! It is on its way across the Atlantic. I can't track it again until it gets closer to California. July 30 is currently the best eta. 1
Aussie Ora Posted July 20, 2016 Report Posted July 20, 2016 Oh no lost at sea lol hurry up and get closer Outback Kamado Bar and Grill♨
ckreef Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 I want to know where all the pictures of the Burning container ships are? . You all are going easy on xraydoc Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 1
MacKenzie Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 It's a long way across the Atlantic, all is not lost, yet.
xraydoc Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Posted July 21, 2016 They do seem to be going easy! I'm on vacation this week anyway which helps me to relax and not think about it too much. I'm doing my best to be relaxed like Aussie Ora. 1
bosco Posted July 24, 2016 Report Posted July 24, 2016 you guys posted the wrong boat FYI. There is a theseus and a NYK Theseus. Your boat is the NYK Theseus and its massive! It was last seen near Tokyo before going off the grid, travelling at 18.5kn. here was the last track and the actual boat that is bringing your KK over. Still doesn't change the arrival date, however, a little update to keep you happy 1
xraydoc Posted July 24, 2016 Author Report Posted July 24, 2016 Thanks @bosco! I just got back from vacation and I am eagerly counting the days. At some point last week I cured out it was the NYK Theseus. That is actually the boat I have been tracking, but I just haven't been calling it by the right name. Oops! In the meantime, I have been trying to accumulate all of the other stuff I may need. I have been looking for a 2qt CI dutch oven to make an "@Syzygiesbrand" smoker pot with. I may have to order one online. What type of 1/8" bit did you use to drill the holes? Will a standard bit work?
