This is just wild any way you look at it. A real Viking ship made from Popsicle sticks encounters a USO and then gets shaken down by MIBs afterward.

I don't even know how to make sense of those words coming together to make sentence.
I hate to poo-poo anything about what is undoubtedly a fantastic achievement but I have to question this captain's fitness for being in charge of a boat....
He says they were doing 14knots and equates that to 35mph! Wrong. 14knots is about 17mph.
It is no big deal but either he hasn't got a clue about a ship's speed, or he is trying to 'big it up' quite a bit. It doesn't detract from a great story though.

I've listened again and a few things mark this guy out as a fantasist - for someone who calls himself 'Captain' and you will notice how he never forgets to quote his crew's comments beginning with 'Captain', as if he likes hearing the term - well, he more than once talks about 'maps' when any captain would call them 'charts' and at least twice he utterly exaggerates the boats speed by a factor of 2. Talking about 35 and 40mph! Anyone who knows anything about boats would know that is a ridiculous speed to be claiming for a viking ship! No effin chance!
All of this may be true but something does not ring true about this guy. I'd like to hear from some of his crew, especially this newly qualified Doctor etc
Hoist the flag! Yes! The big red one!

'The water rescue service'.
Would that be the coastguard you are referring to 'Captain Bob'. Captain Bob the former 'Hollywood stuntman' perchance? (according to BBC news website).
The boat was built, it was in the news. Then Bob got a taste for being in the news and decided to make this all up. That's what happened.
I may have been in the Navy but I am no sailor really. Anyone in this forum more familiar with things nautical will no doubt also just think all his talk does not jive with someone supposedly familiar with being at sea.
Even the person most loathe to go to sea knows the people that help in an emergency are called the coastguard.
'The water rescue serice' !!
Quick! There is some water in dire need of rescuing!
Ok, last post on this one. Sorry.

How did you like the almost constant references to mysterious intelligence operatives who were interfering with the show! You have to wonder who would sign up to sail the Atlantic in a Popsicle stick boat with this guy.
I thought you folks would appreciate this story. I love the all inclusive tales. This has implants, mysterious cancers, MIBs, USOs, inexplicable equipment failure, flying ghost ship stories and so much more PLUS a real viking ship made from ice cream sticks and glue. All we're missing are funny hats and blurry photographs.

Not always coast guard -- maybe the RNLI. "The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. We provide a 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service around the coasts of the UK and RoI, as well as a seasonal lifeguard service on many of the busiest beaches in England and Wales." What we do
The conversion is still laughable though. I looked at the Reuters' story

The rudder doesn't look "...one-foot thick..." either.
No, you are of course correct and that would have been a perfectly acceptable thing for any mariner to say. Saying 'the water rescue service' is not though!
I have a lot of time for Kevin Smith - his show was my first foray into the world of paranormal radio/podcasts and Kevin himself often reminds his audience to use 'critical thinking'. Now Kevin may have just been being polite but surely his B.S meter was ringing half-way through.
The guy is a complete fake and I am sure of it! ('Captain' Bob, that is. Kevin's a dude)

My favorite Kevin Smith movie is Clerks, although he does have a few really good ones.
haha Angelo! Yeah, the first clerks was a laugh-out-loud classic, new one not so good. And of course, Silent Bob still is one of the best character's ever!
