If he's still aboard a floating boat, no telling. He may have run out of batteries for his GPS units too. If so, hes fucked. Even if he did manage an escape from danger in Fiji, he'll have the same problem making a landfall anywhere in the South Pacific. My guess remains that his utter lack of sailing ability and a boat damaged to some degree caused his demise in Fiji. Between all those reefs and islands is some pretty deep water...he's down there somewhere. Best clue is a search for flotsam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thereefgeek 35 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Well good god, give it up. This old man is fish food. I saw a FB post from that tool Jim Furnish the other morning and almost puked my bacon and eggs. Another FB Kling-on speculated that Rimas tossed his electronics overboard and continued to drift toward Shangrala. Yay, hooray, peace, love, and harmony, and all that other unrealistic bullshit. Puke. And puke again. WTF is with people who cheer on any 'ol fool who's attempting to do what they wish that they were doing instead of doing what they're doing right now???????? I guess that's how Patreon got started, RIGHT? I'm sorry guys, Ream-Us did NOT toss his Garmin overboard and sail off into the sunset, despite what all those Facebook douchbags hope and pray for. This muthafukka' was all about the notoriety for his "world record around the Horn world record old man eating taters and living on a teaspoon of water per day" bullshit. He's not just gonna cut ties with the real world and sail off into the sunset like so many of us hope to do once we finally tell our bosses to fuck the fuck off. The MINUTE this asshole hit dirt, you can bet he would be searching for WiFi (and a Frapichino). It was always about the GLORY for him, from the time he left in that other piece of shit ill equipped sailboat back in 2013. Nothing has changed..... except that he finally found a submerged "patch of coral" that payed him his dues. Keep speculating, but I called it way back before he quit transmitting. Rimas was dead drifting straight for Texas Reef with no engine, no sails, no steerage, and no one who gave a squirt of piss about coming out in a boat and towing his dumb disillusioned ass into his next "WORLD RECORD" port of call. It's an ugly world out there and life's a bitch. It's not all daisies and tulips, and no one is gonna be here to wipe your ass but YOU. Sack up and deal with it. Or as Chopper Reid says, "Harden the fuck up.". (Notice that I made all of my above Rimas references in the PAST-tense? That's because that's what they are. Time to move on to a new thread, bitches.)

Timmys_Trick_Turkey 18 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I read the Secret Life of James Cook this week, (book 1 of a 3 book set on his life), and was amazed to find that before he set out to transit venus/discover the great southern land, he prepped for his journey by talking to another ships master who documented his own earlier approach to FIJI from the north east. He laboured on about the difficulty avoiding the reef that laid across the path to Fiji, and how a keen eyed lookout was required both day and night. He recommended that the best approach was on a clear night, when the phospheresence of turbulent water on the reef lit it up like a beacon. He warned against trying to approach it during the daytime. The width of the reef, combined with its low visibility meant that you didnt see it until it was too late to be able to sail around its ends. Even with a young eagle eyed observer in the crows nest, he was struggling to clear it in time. With Rimas's inability to do anything other than wallow on broad reach downwind, and his absence of proper lookout, and poor preparation, he was toast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott Duncan He is lost at sea. It's hard for me to imagine any possible way he could be alive right now. Jim Furnish “Why are you afraid, you who have little faith?” Scott Duncan Im not afraid, Im just realistic. BTW Rimas is not Jesus. Jim Furnish No, he certainly isnt. And it isnt about fear, its about faith. Jon Olsen Scott Duncan I think you're right he would've posted by now if he was still alive too bad he's got the same boat I have San Juan 24 so there's no government agency involved in any of this? Scott Duncan Jim Furnish who said anything about fear? Jim Furnish try to hijack someone else's thread. Let those with hope, hope..it really has nothing to do with you. Scott Duncan Jon Olsen I dont think Fiji is like Hawaii or San Francisco where the coast guard is there to help all the time. Fiji is quite undeveloped compared to the USA. There was some SAR activity in Fiji a couple of weeks ago, but we don't even know who it was for,. It could have been for a totally different vessel. Neither Mimsy or Rimas were mentioned at all on their website during the SAR operations. Really there is no one looking for him (that we know of) and there are no plans for anyone to look for him. If he doesn't show up anywhere, likely his passing will go unnoticed other than here on FB.

Comments Capitan Michalli It is bad luck to speculate any kind of negative outcome when people go missing at sea. People have been known to survive many days or even many months when gone missing at sea. You must always have hope for the individual. Last known position was within the Fiji Islands region. There are many reefs, Islands both large and small as well as remote areas in addition to local boats , pleasure boats and commercial boats. For someone to just vanish without any trace what so ever is highly unlikely.... unless withing the Bermuda Triangle where various conspiracy theories are at play... just stay positive and hope for the best..

Correct. Anyone who addressed the trainwreck or suggested Rimas learn to sail got flicked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Somebody Else 661 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I'm still holding on to the notion that it was Jean's intent all along for Rimas to die. Maybe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donovan 1 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I'm a little discouraged today by all this. Jean has been MIA and I assumed that he was out sailing, cruising somewhere. Today I find out from a friend that Jean isn't out sailing, but out eclipse watching and yet no mention of concern for Rimas or efforts to find him. Really unbelievable, not a mention.

The classic enabler type doesn't "believe" in attorneys, which is fine, seeing as they can't afford one anyway. Much more likely that they are in denial. Denial that they ever rooted the retard on. Denial that what they did believe in turned out to be, basically, false. Their behavior is parallel to Rimas's behavior when all facts point to failure: turn off the electronics and disappear. They can't be criticized if they're not present. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer the mountain dialect of English....... want to thank you for all the pictures and your efforts in trying to find out the fate or Remas. Out here the whole country side is turning into vineyards gobbling up the hills like a plague. fermented grape juice offends me because it makes me think of all the beautiful oak covered hills that I used to love that are now ploughed under and solid vineyards.

Volkeno 13 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I think there are still four possibilities since it's only been three weeks. 1 Rimas is dead, He hit the reef and sank. 2 Rimas the pinball wizard dodged major damage and drifted all the way through the Fiji area, but lost his Delorme over the side. He will soon be the mummified ghost sailor unless he finds a sandy beach to plant the keel on. 3 Rimas is in intensive care as a John Doe after being pulled from where ever. 4 Rimas is in Detention for illegal entry and being delusional. He may or may not have access to a phone. Maybe they ship him to Moscow. 4a Rimas was in detention, but is being flown to LAX with no phone. He decided to walk to Jean's house and will make Jean's wife really mad in a month or two when she finds him living on the couch.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
We are Rimas! 38 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 17 hours ago, Timmys_Trick_Turkey said: I read the Secret Life of James Cook this week, (book 1 of a 3 book set on his life), and was amazed to find that before he set out to transit venus/discover the great southern land, he prepped for his journey by talking to another ships master who documented his own earlier approach to FIJI from the north east. He laboured on about the difficulty avoiding the reef that laid across the path to Fiji, and how a keen eyed lookout was required both day and night. He recommended that the best approach was on a clear night, when the phospheresence of turbulent water on the reef lit it up like a beacon. He warned against trying to approach it during the daytime. The width of the reef, combined with its low visibility meant that you didnt see it until it was too late to be able to sail around its ends. Even with a young eagle eyed observer in the crows nest, he was struggling to clear it in time. With Rimas's inability to do anything other than wallow on broad reach downwind, and his absence of proper lookout, and poor preparation, he was toast. How much of this book is fiction? Do you recommend it? What an amazing adventure it must have been to go so far and be faced with such challenges! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Given the winds, current, and his lack of forward mobility, on his way to Japan. With his skills and survival equipment, he will be DOA at Tokyo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Varan 1,986 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Can't imagine what it would be like to be a dillusional sailor, off to set world records only to face the grim reality of fate. Was he terrified, or simply waiting for a tow to arrive? I just cannot imagine Rimas being scared. More like drifting below to await the new dawn, where ever that may be. Hope he is in a happy place.

I have always believed Rimas knew his mind was going and wished to disappear out into the ocean never return. Then he f.....ed up and lived, so he did it again and again until he was successful. That is what I believe and I believe certain other people that egged him on knew this as well but when it happened they became scared and went into hiding Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's OK, Kingnosail, it's ok, I admitted I am a hoax, no worries, but who is Katherine Hepburn? Does she rap or hiphop? also not to be an arse... but having been on this thread since before I was born, the Remas thing is a bit of a joke u know... And Coos Bay is also fine for me, only 4776 miles from here, I can drift that far in a year. And anywhere except that fucking awful olympic marina in Kingston will do. Shall we meet in that nice park next to the little concrete dock, just around the top of the town? I moor my Superyacht on the outside, and there is just enough room for your Dragon on the inside. U do know your way out of Lake Ontario do you? then South, around the Horn, and then North, easy! The entrance to Coos Bay is quite a long sail, but very scenic, you will get lost...

Timmys_Trick_Turkey 18 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 In Serbian, the capital M is often inadvertently substituted for an F, which would make Rimas's boat Mimsy become Flimsy but we already knew that.
