An heir of a wealthy british banking family will attempt to sail the Pacific from San Francisco to Sydney in a vessel made of 2 liter plastic beverage bottles except for the mast. The crew is expected to take upwards of a 100 days to complete the journey, with stops in Hawaii and some other South Pacific islands. The Captain, David de Rothschild, would like to prove a point about the waste of plastic by consumers and the environmental impact it has taken on the worlds oceans in the last millennium. He says the boat will also be recycled after the expedition. I think it will destined for a museum, if they make it. Thoughts?
