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 ! Gordon It's been well documented. You can start he http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_P..._Garbage_Patch Ah, now I get it. A great pacific garbage patch that is invisible to satellite photography because the pieces of garbage are very very small, almost invisible to the eye and are suspended at or under the surface of the ocean!!!!!!!!! That rates right along with "we have to get rid of creosoted pilings because they are poisonous to the sea life". Look at an old piling sometime and note the "dead" sealife growing on it. Gordon |
