garbage patch

Can anybody find an actual cruiser that has been through this garbage patch? I can't speak for the Pacific but can tell you from experience that every remote beach and coast that we've been on the Atlantic side is littered with plastic waste of all kinds. Polypropylene line and netting from commercial fishing gear is one of the biggest offenders because it floats forever until it washes up somewhere. There are also various plastic containers, jugs and barrels of all sizes shapes and description. It would take no time at all to build a large raft from this stuff. |
