Following the Plastiki lately?

Hard to believe --they've been at sea now for 30 days. You can check out their latest blog report at the link below.

I check in daily on the voyage's progress and >>>

I installed the Widget...

It's a pity the widget only offers a very small view but I regularly check the website too. I have done the math several times and their progress is painfully slow at below 4 knots. I really think that they should have put some sort of skin over the bottle structure, it's not the most 'aquadynamic' choice to keep them on the outside.

Maybe they did this on purpose and they are trying to create a new ecosystem between the bottles though :-)

Kind regards,

Slow speed of the boat may be an asset

The longer it takes, the more possibilities you get for exposure. I sometimes look, but there is not much to see, although I may not be looking at the right places. Did the crew answer the questions that were posed here? I can imagine they have an abundance of time to do so. As IWC is not very visible at the site, remarks on how they live with their Inges would be interesting.

I have been following them every day....

It has been quite interesting to follow the progress but the really amazing thing is the amount of communication technology packed into the boat. And that they have managed to avoid really rough seas.

The video of Robin WIlliams voicing the Queen

is great for laughs. The whole website is quite interesting, actually.
I wish them continued smooth sailing.

I just asked a question on Facebook

There is an entry there called Plastiki Expedition. One of the recent messages asked for questions, redirecting to another page, Messages to the crew (I am still not that familiar with Facebook). There I posed my previously mentioned questions on the Inge, maybe you can find it. I wonder whether I can expect an answer.
