Plastiki

You may remember our post about the Kontiki Expedition, but I bet you haven’t heard of Plastiki. A man named David de Rothschild plans to sail a boat made entirely of recyclable plastics across the Pacific Ocean…

“In Summer 2009, David de Rothschild and a crew of experts, scientists and creatives will sail 12,000 nautical miles across the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to Sydney in a boat made out of plastic bottles and recycled waste products. This epic voyage is named The Plastiki taking inspiration from Thor Heyerdal’s 1947 expedition The Kontiki.”

I cant wait to see how it goes!
