It was pretty obvious from the construction fotos that the vessel wasn't suited for ocean voyaging. I'm just glad that the thing didn't end up breaking apart on some rocky shore and spilling all the plastic bottles into the sea.

I don't think that would address their statement concerning plastic trash.

I wonder where this floating dumpster is now?


Yeah, sorry that some logic got in the way of a pipe dream :lol:
