Now it is just creepy. 55 year-old dude talks some naive 24 year-old into floating around in circle with bean spouts and parmesian cheese. Did this guy ever have a job? Is there any verification that they hit this freighter? I would suspect that an ocean-going vessel would have to file a report due to a collision. Creepy, creepy, creepy guy. I agree with Capt.

Creepy, creepy, creepy guy.

At first I thought that some useful information would come from it. Now that it is months in, I see it as no more than a grueling marathon of one MAN'S quest for fame (and if he makes most likely fortune). I feel bad for Soanya. At 24 and having never been out at sea, and probably having never been in any type of long term relationship, I feel she will collapse mentally and physically. Reid should have been more responsible, and not have lured or encouraged a "girl" to become part of his selfish vision. What a wad of sh*t. I have been following this voyage from the beginning.

What utter B.S. If these two make it back alive it will be a miracle because it would certainly have nothing to do with preparation, seamanship or a seaworthy boat. The Cheese Scow Anne will sink or they become weak and sick from poor diet. One way or another it will end badly. Of course, exactly like a Mars voyage. What utter B.S.

The prison registry shows Reid did some time as well. Sonya might be youger than his daughter Viva. It's for science so that's a good thing. Creepy is in the eyes of the beholder.

The cheese scow Anne is far from seaworthy, and if he wasn't running from his past he likely wouldn't be out there bobbing around until she sinks.

People live in boats for years at a time and sometimes lifetimes, but usually these are moored. This is pretty accurate from what I understand of boating culture- the seasoned (read: creepy) captain and his young wench. I wonder if she hates using the head as much as I do.
