Did any one see this? I'll refer to it as a Raft.

Amazing - 2 guys @ 41 & 30 ish yrs. old put this raft together from JUNK.

Pontoons were made from all plastic bottles - 15 thousand

The 2- guys left LongBeach CA June 1, and arrived in Waikiki Hawaii yesterday Aug.28th.. They sailed 1/2 mile an hour..

The sail to this raft & name of their ship - JUNK

Big statement to go green. LINK on page 4, Kathy Ellen posted it.. Thanks Kathy

Really was cool. Really was risky

Sorry - no I don't have a link - hear this on the news.

amazing adventure. They said they expected to travel faster than 1/2 mile @ hour.. had to ration food. They're tired of fish and peanut butter.

I don't think that's together....:wah:

It'll be great if some one found the link
