There's a storm a-brewing over Papenburg, the email on Monday said.
No it's not a stand-off between Celebrity Cruises and the Meyer-Werft shipyard over the new Celebrity Eclipse. It's bad weather on the way.
It means Celebrity has had to bring forward the date of the so-called conveyance, when Eclipse is tugged backwards down the River Ems, through narrow locks and under too-low bridges, towards the open sea.
It also means I'm heading out there two days earlier than originally planned. Hopefully I'll be arriving there around midnight tonight and the ship will start moving at 7am tomorrow morning.
Internet willing, I'll be bringing updates and pictures, so keep checking back.
