Is anybody still following that junk raft floating across the Pacific?
I just checked their website and they haven't fallen apart yet, still at it. Looks like it's taking them a little longer than they thought, and they are running low on chow. http://junkraft.blogspot.com/ |

I look in on these guys blog every now and then (when I think about it) just to see if they're afloat or treading water. There was a kid about a month back that left Californicate in an attempt to sail solo around the world, but I don't recall his blog site. We chatted briefly about him here. Anyone know if he's still on task? |

Anyone know if he's still on task? He was, at least up until recently. I don't know if he has his own website/blog. http://www.pacificmagazine.net/news/...ican-teen-zac- sunderland-makes-it-to-majuro-on-solo-voyage |
