"Junk" Sailing the Pacific


Thanks again to my good friend Jim Hardman for informing me of Junk - a rudimentary sailing vessel made entirely of plastic and scrap that is sailing the Pacific to build awareness of the tons of plastic whirling and swirling in our oceans and its devastating impact on our sealife.


Peace,

Happy New Year - Thanks President Bush


Happy New Year to All! Tara and I hope you have a peaceful and joyful 2009!

Well, I admittedly don't say it often, but here goes...Thank You President Bush!

He just designated a marine area the size of California as protected land. Check out the photos of the area, which includes the world's deepest canyon--The Mariana Trench--and numerous atolls teeming with relatively undisturbed sealife. See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/gallery/2009/01/06/GA2009010600817.html?hpid=multimedia1&hpv=local.

Have a great day.

Peace,
Jerry & Tara
