Excellent, thanks for confirming

Thankyou!

I was sure this was just gonna be an uninteresting St Barth/Rotterdam/Med/Channel/St Barth cycle but you instead have Purchase>Refit>Elon's election hack tour>Refit>HOLY COW sudden inexplicable Alaska jumpscare out of nowhere>???>?Refit?>Delete

Rumours of being in BC in early August, can't confirm

Phew, was worried there might be something suspicious there.

Anyway it's ok everyone she said she didn't meet or even know Epstein and I believe her because she's never lied before about anything.

Has she even acknowledged what he did yet?

Trump doesn't take questions and speaks briefly and abruptly while being vague on details.

And then in Feb 2026, within a day of a certain name coming up in document rumoured to have been used as a threat in Alaska, the port log, AIS data and vessel registrations for Samsara disappear.

Comes out and immediately dashes via the Channel islands for Panama and then up to Alaska in time for Putin and Trump's private meeting.

Aides and senior officials exit secure facility, pale, tight-lipped, ashen and visibly fatigued with minimal eye contact, few smiles and quick departures.

Goes into a year long refit from a classic Med luxury object to a long-range, low-visibility geopolitically adjacent mobility platform despite not in any way being designed as a serious expedition yacht

So, to summarise:

Samsara is a vessel that changes ownership in 2022, spends a year on the sales/charter market in the Med, is bought in 2023 by Rowling after she sells the mysterious Russian oligarch crewed Cayman shell Calypso

15-16 August 2025 (Bering Strait): High compliance w/ voluntary traffic separation & safety measures; diplomacy stalls politically & remains technically coordinated. Bering shipping cooperation study released

18 August 2025 (Washington): European + US leaders meet for multilateral Ukraine meeting

14-15 August 2025 (Anchorage, Alaska): Russia-United States Summit in Anchorage. 5 LNG carriers suddenly alter course eastbound toward Asia via Northern Sea Route during summit, each linked to sanctioned or semi-opaque ownership structures

Summer 2025 events:

10-12 August 2025 (Bering Strait): Arctic summer window opens and sees high seasonal traffic flow. LNG, bulk carriers and transports transit between Pacific and Arctic.

(Uncertain if this one is true) Aug 4-5 2025 (Unalaska, Alaska->Heriot Bay/Keats Island/Quadra Island, British Columbia, Canada): AIS data unavailable, location *may* be corroborated by screenshots, unable to confirm anything beyond this as it doesn't seem to be accessible anymore

This journey is less unusual *for this kind of vessel, in summer 2025*, because a large number of other high-profile billionaire superyachts also made the same journey.
Yeah, it's the ones you expect

Strong implications of adventurous owner with a special interest in remote, low-visibility cruising.
While this journey is quite unusual for this kind of vessel in general, Summer 2025 Alaska is an unusual time.

Alongside a willingness to take the risk of zooming an obscenely valuable just-refitted vessel halfway around the world to somewhere far outside comfortable operating areas. Overwhelmingly strong indication of personal rather than charter-driven use.

This kind of journey in these conditions, especially during known ongoing drought restrictions on Panama traffic that introduces a bunch of uncertainties, would imply someone with a strong desire to be in Alaska that summer

To make Alaska summer dash by July from Jersey in March, you're pushing Portugal/Spain/Canaries->Caribbean->Panama or Azores->Caribbean->Panama then Pacific US by late spring/early summer which gives us March-May for the pre-hurricane crossing window to avoid the June-November hurricane season.

Especially unlikely to see an Atlantic->Caribbean->Panama->US Pacific->Alaska dash (it's unlikely to be an Atlantic->Cape Horn/Strait of Magellan run for a luxury yacht) immediately following an extended yard period without a settling in gap.

Rare high-latitude visit to remote location, unusual for this kind of vessel due to a combination of weather sensitivity, logistical complexities and departure from Riviera/Caribbean circuit habits.

BUCKLE UP

March-July 2025 (North Pacific->Unalaska, Aleutian Islands, Alaska): This one's interesting. AIS on for Alaska approach and port stay, off/unconfirmed elsewhere.

Oct 2024-Feb 2025 (Rotterdam): Back to Oceanco ecosystem for massive yard refit, last confirmed 17 Feb 2025
4 March 2025 (St Helier, Jersey): AIS tracking on, presence briefly corroborated by local media

8-9 June 2024 (Savannah->Charleston): US East Coast cruise covered by AIS. Marked re-emergence into publicly visible waters after years of silence.
June 2024 (US Southern States, Florida): Fox Business reports corroborate

Blundy basically does a year of Mediterranean charter/sales touring and sells her on

Under Rowling:
Mid-late 2023 (Mediterranean): Post-refit 'settling in' cruising with intermittent AIS coverage

Under Blundy:
Apr 2022: Quiet off-market sale
Summer 2022 (West Mediterranean): AIS on, charter positioning
Late 2022 (Mediterranean): AIS intermittent, marketing travel
Jan-Mar 2023 (Barcelona): AIS on, in yard for refit

2020-2021 (unknown location): AIS off
Lots of missing data, hard to form a picture until 2022 when she 'goes North'

Known locations and AIS gaps for Infinity/Cloud9/Samsara:

Under Smidt:
2015 Winter (Netherlands->Gibraltar): AIS on
2015 Summer (Western Mediterranean): AIS partial coverage
2016-2019 (Mediterranean/Atlantic): AIS almost always off
