1,000 days at sea.

hope they packed plenty of birth control!!

If this boat's a rockin', it's just a stormy day at sea!

I would guess that the blue sky, plenty of fresh air, gravity and the possibility to have a saltwater bath makes some of a difference compared to a mars voyage.

I give it 2 months before he chops her up into fish food.

yeah old 55 years guy bringing a 24 years cuty on a long boat trip. I hope they brought a defibrillator. He's not going to make it.

I wonder if 'continuous sail' meanings always moving, regardless of if the sails are up or not. 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. ('head' is boat jargon for toilet)

That couple is so cliché and so ridiculous.

55 and 24...
*sigh*

Ahhh men. -_-

Shieeet. I'd be bored to hell on that boat.

You know what I'd love for lunch? Fresh asparagus, then, um, pasta - angel hair pasta with heaps of basil, garlic, olive oil and, uh, apple pie. Uh, John, have you got a towel?

Reid is a total con man, with a very sketchy background. 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.

For a more accurate perspective on Capt'n Crunch's voyage, read what REAL sailors have to say and have discovered at: http://www.sailinganarchy.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=52463&st=0&start=0

Reid left his wife & child, married again, and was looking for crewmates on "Myspace". 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.

Of course, exactly like a Mars voyage. 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.

The Reidhovians are busy cheering him on and censoring their blog so that no real questions regarding his "space oddity" can be asked.

I have been following this voyage from the beginning. 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 agree with Capt. Hazybeer. At first I was extremely interested. 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.
