Its position is being tracked in real time at The Muqata. Will it try to run in to Gaza, or will it dock at the Egyptian port of El Arish as it has claimed it would? Let's watch.
You can find the ship yourself, here, and look for the "Amalthea" in the Go To Vessel drop-down list. [h/t: Elder]
FWIW, Debka reports on palace intrigue in Tripoli to give a back-story to this boat and ties it in with Daffy Qadaffi's oldest son's involvement in negotiating the deal that sprung Al Megrahi from jail in Scotland.
The plot thickens. After practically drifting for a while at a mere 1.5 knots/hr The ship has dropped off of MarineTracking.com. Muqata reports the GPS (AIS) transponder has been turned off. It's about 12:30 AM (0030) there now. Are thye heading for El Arish, as they declared, or making a break for Gaza under cover of darkness?
I actually thought about the "Niagara Falls" skit just a few days ago - like any other word that sets someone off - like hearing the name of an ex-spouse.
Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch...
Thanks for the link to the A&C clip. I do remember being surprised that other people did the same routine - like the Three Stooges.
Both teams, A&C and the 3S did the clam/oyster soup that spits in your face routine.

It's all about compassion for the victims of the bombing of Pan Am 103, NOT for the bomber or the british PASSION for libyan oil contracts.
Scotland? Did someone say "Scotland?" Slowly I turned...
