Junk Floats
 
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.

It's been done. I have seen Kon Tiki in an Oslo museum. [They sold so
many copies of the book that it is still readily found in the thrift
shops.]

Yea, I read about the Kon Tiki thingy way way back. Still, I think this
is an interesting adventure. 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?

Looks like he left Majuro, Marshall Islands yesterday and is on his way
to Darwin via The Solomons and Port Moresby.

He was, at least up until recently. I don't know if he has his own
website/blog.
