IWC Plastiki Plastic Boat Lands In Sydney, Picks Up One Of A Kind Platinum Watch On Way
Back in March I wrote about my experience hanging out on the IWC Plastiki with its crew in San Francisco. This was prior to the ship's maiden voyage, which was to be an ambitious journey from San Francisco to Sydney. Please refer to the original article there for all the details on what the Plastiki is, and the purpose of its 'mission.'A few days ago the plastic bottle boat successfully made it to its location in Australia.
