In the Spring of 2008 three marine scientist build a raft from 15,000 plastic bottles, 30 sailboat masts, and a Cessina 310 aircraft fuselage. We launched on June 1, beginning an 88 day adventure from Long Beach, CA to Hawaii. We ran out of food, outran three hurricanes, and met a female rower in the middle of the ocean. It was an amazing adventure to bring attention to the rising plague of plastic waste in our ocean.
wow that is amazing. i make small rafts like this out of milk jugs and 2 liter bottles. the first one was an amazing success. but the little pond that i ride it in dried up so when i go up to clarks hill i might be able to try the other one.
