The last few posts have focused on fish, squid, sail speeds, and general sanity. Bringing it back to the mission:
Here's a reminder of why JUNK - why two men cast themselves to the wild seas on a pile of junk, enduring fish and granola for breakfast, and only one another's company for several months:

This is a wonderful thing. After watching a show showing all that plastic in lil albatross bellies. I have been trying to not buy things in plastic and re-use the items I am forced to buy. I think we should all promote more ways to buy in "bulk" style. Bringing re-usable packaging to stores along with bringing our re-usable shopping bags.

I live in Seattle and our mayor and city council just voted to impose a 20 cent tax on all plastic bags and voted to ban all styrofoam food containers.
This is a start. Thanks again to you brave "plastic sailors" for dramatizing the problem with plastic in our oceans.
Curt in Seattle
is good!
