It's Not a Speed Demon

06/15/2016 9:51 PM

I continue to track the progress of the little autonomous boat as it slowly treks across the open ocean without a drop of fuel or escort. you can see that as of today it's progressed 870 KM. Impressive even by negative British standards

Well, so much for the crate of priceless diamonds to be delivered to Her Majesty, the Queen. Somebody will have some 'splainin' to do.
