Various eco groups have described the "Great Garbage Patch" in the
Pacific ocean. It has been described as twice the size of the
continental US located between Hawaii and Japan, or bigger than the
state of Texas located between California and Hawaii, or it is located
in the North Pacific. It consists of millions of tons of garbage
floating everywhere.
At the Seattle boat show was a raft made of plastic jugs and held
together with old fishing nets and with an old airplane fuselage as a
cabin. Supposedly, they sailed this raft to Hawaii and documented all
the garbage out there.
Does anybody believe this crap????
Can anybody find an actual cruiser that has been through this garbage
patch?
Why is it only the Pacific Ocean?
Why can't they even agree on the location and size?
Seems to me Al Gore has had another wet dream !

Sounds like the Sargasso Sea where all those old sailing ships are
stranded.
