JUNK flying along, launch revisited

As of 9:30 tonight, JUNK was forging ahead at top speeds (relative, of course), possibly making today another record mileage day. Last night, she hit record speeds - 3.2 knots - a 58 mile day.

I asked Marcus how JUNK performs at high speed. Other than some new and strange bottle crunching noises, she apparently does just fine!

With the half-way mark now passed, heres a great reminder of why we're doing this, put together by our amazing friend and media savior Randy Olson.

And here is the rest of it.

Amazing! Congratulations on being a Blogger Blog of Note. (With good reason.) My household used to use the plastic bottles. No more. It's all aluminum now.

Joel and Marcus,
I thought you would like to keep up with the "happenings" in Congress, they have moved to ban phthalates from toys - July 29 headlines

Congratulations on passing the halfway mark! I just met with Morgan in Haleiwa today about plans to welcome you to Hawai'i and promote the cause. I'd be happy to help with any video post-production needs to get clips out for network coverage etc.
Aloha
