Desmond got the boat from Libby. But the race itself was all Widmore, right?
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
That seems right.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
But in the non-plane-crash-y timeline, Desmond could have gotten the boat from Widmore, not Libby. Not everything in non-plane-crash-y timeline is exactly the same as things were in plane-crash-y timeline. After all, Jack has a kid and Sun and Jin aren't married.
Oh! And Daniel is a wanna-be rock star, not a physicist, which cracked me up.

Desmond, afaik, never went sailing in the other timeline. He'd have no reason to.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Faraday Daniel's a musician - I assumed classical piano and he was bringing in Driveshaft for the classical/rock experiment Widmore was talking about. Wasn't there some stuff about him practicing the piano in an original timeline flashback? I only remember it vaguely.
But, yeah to the main details change point, is what I mostly wanted to say. And regardless of where the boat came from, if Desmond won Widmore's race with it (not crashing into the Island and all), I could see Widmore getting a model of it for his office.
I want to trace all these tiny differences back to the bomb going off somehow. Although Eloise now has me thinking that they reflect the character's desires in some way - Sun and Jin wanting to not have had their innocence and romance lost, Jack wanting a family, Locke wanting a relationship with his dad (and his woman, I forget her name). I can't figure Sawyer and Miles out. Or Kate.
But since Daniel died, his desires don't figure into it, he just reflects someone elses? Maybe? Ooh, so maybe that dissatisfaction, for Daniel and Charlie, is what drives/allows them to the more pronounced bleed-through?
Edited for context.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think if all of Daniel's wishes were taken into account, he would have been in a relationship with Charlotte in the sideways timeline.

And it was seeing Charlotte that triggered the equation scribbling. Right?

I just watched the episode again because I missed the whole Eloise scene. She definitely knows what is going on.
And both Daniel and Charley are getting major bleed though. I think it's different with Desmond, but I'm not sure how. Eloise said he was not ready yet.
Didn't she appear in his time slipping episodes, telling him not to give the ring to Penny? What has she got against him?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Oh, Desmond, you're so dreamy.
It seems like this Eloise knows more than she should, just like the other Eloise.

I think it's the same Eloise in both universes!
