Our „Friend in the barrel“ seems to be the winner in his opinion… and effectively the big looser; he will not arrive on a Caribbean island, nor in the Bahamas, nor on the American continent.
Some 8 hours ago the barrel reversed course to NE at 11 knots against 20 knots of easterly wind. This is only possible when the barrel is on a ship. Now, he stopped transmitting his position.
He (and his barrel) went to Sint Eustatius port on board a tanker.
Hence, he did NOT make it!
