  1. They’ve been making good speed. Going downwind now after a long reach. Pretty heavy front just ahead though. No apparent way around it.

  2. Where is a Great White when you need one. Hopefully they are all covered in barf, their soogan’s all wet and the shitter overflowing. A pox on them all, only mercy I would have is for the poor infant that the dumb ass mother allowed on board the ship of fools.

  3. Oh shit!

    That stupid little c*** is about to get an object lesson in why humans invented ways to fly ABOVE the weather. There’s a TS, soon to be hurricane that’s going to cross their path. The weather in their vicinity is about to turn to shit.

    1. I notice they made a course correction to the North and then another to the East. I’m betting that cyclone has got them spooked. Which way do you run? They don’t have any really good choices. If they’re not scared now, they ought to be.

  4. Gotta at least give her some credit for being consistent. Consistently crazy, but still beats the malicious cynicism of a jet-hopping climate hypocrite like Trudeau.

    1. That’s not consistency born of character. That’s what true believers and other idiots look like.

      The former Soviet Union had them, too, and they all ended up in Siberia.

      1. Well, looking for something positive … at least she really is a true believer, unlike a lot of political scum who just see it as a way to fleece the taxpayer and/or line their own pockets.

        Give her some credit for having the courage of her convictions.

  5. Only idiots would set sail in the North Atlantic in a catamaran in November no matter where they are heading.
    They need protection from themselves. Charges should be laid when children are involved.

  6. Soon to be in a 33 knot following sea…..that makes for some pretty large rockin’ and rollin’
    few people would have the stomach (or the contents there of) to enjoy the voyage.
    When this child hits land fall there won’t be a whiter sole in the universe.
    My guess is she will be immediately transported to hospital for some serious hydration.

  7. “I should be in school!”
    Whose decision was it to spend several weeks crossing the Atlantic in a boat instead? I’d like to know, because whoever it was that person should be in deep doo-doo.

    1. Little Greta is SURE to receive her “honorary” HS degree in absentia. Handed out by the girls currently running the Swedish government

        1. It is on it’s political way. Greta’s custodians have good connections to certain Norwegian elite. Sad but the Peace Prize committee is totally corrupt.

      1. Greta won’t need the HS diploma if University of Alberta beats them to it and awards her an honorary PhD in Science.
        She’s made herself a “controversial figure” which is apparently the kind of achievement that can get her onto UA’s short list.

  8. Just intercepted a radio instruction. this is the transcript
    ‘Broadsword calling Danny Boy, broadsword calling danny boy. Danny boy, wipe the snot off her face and prepare to divert course to Venice. Watch out for gondoliers, repeat, set course for Venice. Broadsword out’

  9. When do the American or Canadian Search and Rescue get called…and have put their lives on the line for these idiots.

    1. They’re far enough out that it’s not in anybody’s jurisdiction. Likely Cdn herc’s out of St John’s; three hours plus deployment times, if they end-up in the brine they’ll be there awhile.

  10. “Mommy what is that bird I see following us?”
    “That is an Albatross honey nothing to worry about.”

  11. I don’t believe she is on a boat. Not even sure there is a boat there.
    Publicity fabrication.

    1. She’s not provably on the boat, but the ship is real and I believe she is naive enough to jump it. Can you say so? Asking native speakers to comment.

  12. Her parents brainwashed her. God forbid they die on this boat. And even if they survive, this seems like weeks of torture. You could not pay me enough to sail across the north Atlantic in November.

    1. It’s not the blue you have to worry about. It’s the red right in front of them and that round eye like object to their south. (Hint, it’s named Sebastian). Sailing track says it all: the bend north was an attempt to delay entering the weather in front. The sudden turn east is shows they realized they have 2 days to beat Sebastian. Next turn will be 180 degrees to try and dodge the storm. Good luck to them.

    2. The blue spot is a high pressure system. That would be a very nice place to be — albeit slow sailing — compared to the front line directly before them or the little tropical storm (soon to be hurricane) to their SSW.

    1. Temperature is 70 to 80 F and wind speed about 20 mph. Not a sailor but sounds mighty friendly out there.

      1. You need to look again…the calm before the storm. They have gale force winds to the North and to the East of their position and a late season hurricane heading in their direction from the South, which is going to track right along that trough they are about to enter. Even if they manage to avoid the hurricane, it’s effects will be felt for hundreds of miles. That’s a bad place to be in a plastic 45′ catamaran that is more suited for island hopping in the tropics.

  13. I’d think their best bet at this point is to make the Azores, though that looks like a pretty rough trip. Better than Sebastian, however.

    Greta has said that she doesn’t get seasick. Looks like mother nature is having a “hold my beer” moment about that.

  14. Kate said in the first post, that they are near where George Clooney went down with his Tuna boat, but, this track is much closer to the location of the sinking of the Andrea Gail, with seas that are very reminiscent of that event.
    They are in international waters, but maybe the Muricans would go first. Their path looks poor, immediately and farther east, their progress has been terribly slow, no doubt hampered by not knowing the ship, first time on it for the “experienced sailor”. And yes, that hurricane to the south will catch up to them, given enough time.
    IF they make it thru that trough they are in (a salad bowl if you ask me, of weather systems interfacing), they then need to ride east then south of that hellish mess to the North, and get to Spain. Problem is, it appears they are already in a bit of a hellish mess.
    This was a terrible, amateurish idea. If it was all adults, whatever, but Scoldilocks is getting a lesson to not trust her adult handlers, and there’s a baby on board.
    I’m not optimistic, she might be the little martyr, Gaia ate her up! It would not be a surprise if they Mayday or go down. Stupid people making stupid decisions!

    1. No. that’s a misreading of the original post. The George Clooney comment was in reference to the (then) storm off Greenland.

      1. Bummer … they didn’t go far enough South to disappear in the Bermuda Triangle … ?

        No no no … I don’t want to see them dead! … But just taken up into the Alien mothership.

        1. As much as the irony of a winter storm floundering the ship would be very tasty, it would be just as bad, perhaps, that she now becomes the martyr for the Green Gang.

          She died for the cause. Thats not the motivation they need, despite being very capable of it right now. These people are sick

          1. So then, we should all follow our heroine martyr to our own watery deaths? What “point” will the newly minted martyr be making? Airliner travel is safe?

            Of course the Co2 hysterics will ATTEMPT to make her a martyr … with the same effectiveness of Adam Schitt impeaching MY President on Democrat operative hearsay

  15. Seems to me that Children’s Crusade went badly, as well. I don’t wish them bad luck but naive stupidity has killed more people than global warming.

  16. Being on an unsinkable boat with a shit load of horsepower would be much better. And yes you can buy and or build one.

    1. The problem with “unsinkable” boats is that the boat can survive much more than its passengers and crew.

  17. They will need to do some good sailing tonight. Make all the right decisions. Wish they weren’t in a catamaran. Some of them don’t ride waves so well as they cut into the waves for speed. Works except in high seas. But this must not be one of them.

    So good luck Greta and make some good memories. You’ll be thinking about this in your old age.

  18. as far as the dot on the weather map, now, Im more interested in the ummm, ‘elevation’ than longitude/latitude.
    this fuzzy brained brat will be utterly insufferable when they pull into port. shes gonna run for political office in 10 years and get far far worse after winning.

  19. Isn’t there at least one rogue Nazi submarine out there which could deal with this appropriately???

  20. They are trapped without a motor. Best option would a beam reach to the SW trying to escape the trap and drop behind the hurricane, but they are very close to that course being an upwind climb in the track shown so might require a motor…. Cats can do some upwind, though.

    BUT if they continue their present course, they enter the confluence of two following winds and get spit out off Newfoundland. IFF they survive then get a hurricane in their path to Europe with winds and wave reaching them….

    Atlantic traditional boats were slow dumpy things that can take a storm beating, invert, and bob back up, upright. Cats are traditionally Pacific ocean boats, so you can outrun the huge Pacific storms that are not survivable. They can’t take a punch well and tend to capsize (“turn turtle” or get stuck upside down). Their captain needs to know that and avoid N.Atlantic storms, not run through them. He has equipment for running away, not ploughing through. At present, they are on course to try running through and likely to end up demasted and turned turtle.

    (Me? Liveabord 27 foot dumpy motor sail boat a few years).

    1. It’s gonna’ be all too interesting for the crew and passengers. It looks like they’re going to try a long run in what could turn into a full gale. The decision to make this trip at this time may have been ill-advised, but my prayers are with all of them. Mother nature deals some harsh lessons, and some of its students don’t survive the education.

  21. Now it looks like they’re trying to run away from the cyclone…heading NE instead of due East and hoping that it passes them by well to the East and South, or blows itself out first.

    I think that last night they should have turned around and headed back towards Bermuda and then swung behind it when it passed. Of course hurricanes are treacherous bastards and it might have turned more northward and they’d have been buggered. That’s also assuming that they can see what we can, which might not be the case.

    The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed…

  22. Looks like a literal, second castration for this cranky little “boy” if that nasty storm turns into a Whalberg Wacker. There will be considerably less crying than in that movie. Less crazies the better.

  23. The front is moving away from them. Plus they are zigzagging towards the North. It doesn’t seem likely either of the low pressure systems will catch them.

  24. On a boating forum someone commented that the ultimate irony in this humongous ill considered publicity stunt is that – if the ship of fools survives – it will be only because of 21 century comms and weather routing. Both of which are only possible due to satellites which were launched with —- wait for it —– petroleum fuel.

    I commented on the earlier thread that any fool who thinks this is a “normal” recreational voyage should go to http://www.marinetraffic.com and then filter for recreational vessels. What you’ll see is a very small parade of vessels headed EXCLUSIVELY east to west on a very southerly route. North of Bermuda – nothing. And that fact points out that the ship of fools isn’t even carrying an AIS transmitter. Stupid is as stupid does.

    1. I see from marinetraffic.com that a lot of tankers are out there. It would be ironic if the Magic Retard foundered and was picked up by one.

  25. Sebastien is a very small tropical storm that will not pose much of a threat as it appears likely to die out before making it to the western Azores. And the front ahead of them is going to remain only moderately strong, if they overtake it which seems unlikely. It looks like their strategy is to keep pace with the slot between the low to their northeast and another one coming along in the westerlies in about three days’ time. I won’t miss them if I’m wrong so it’s win-win at this end.

  26. Putting aside all the politics and being a Dad, I sure hope she makes it across. Her parents must be beside themselves. I know I would be.

    1. You can’t put the politics aside because that’s why she’s there. If her politics kills her, so be it.
