Well, my May 8th date for loading Intermezzo onto a ship to La Paz isn't happening. Seems it never was.
The local sales manager for the shipping agent seems to be doing her best, but couldn't provide me with any meaningful information, so I contacted Peters & May's CEO, explained my circumstances and asked him to look into the situation here. This is the email I got back:
Hi Stephen,
I have spoken to the relevant parties involved. I don’t know where the date of 8th May came from but I can say with some certainty that shipment will not be prior 15th May. At the moment there are two possible vessel candidates out there with May dates (1 due w/c 17th May, the other towards the end May) and it may be that actually both these vessels are of interest. I see no reason why you would not be on first sailing. There are plenty of other yachts booked for La Paz hence this is simply a matter of holding out for a little while longer. I would expect that situation will become clearer within the week.
Thanks
Simon Judson
Chief Executive Officer
I am, of course, bummed. Feeling downtrodden and tired. But I'll deal with it.
I will hold out for a little while longer, restarting the countdown to May 17th.
Twelve days and counting.
