One Man’s Trash Is Another Man’s… Ticket Across the Pacific?

Here’s an interesting piece. Who knew that sailing across the Pacific Ocean aboard a trash boat could be so much fun? I guess you can make anything happen with enough ingenuity… And a relentless desire to raise awareness of “ocean debris” - By sailing 2,600 freaking miles across the Pacific Ocean. Am I crazy for thinking that’s absolutely crazy?

I in no way want to belittle these guys' accomplishment, or the importance of ocean junk, but personally, I’d just make a donation to a local charity to assist in raising awareness. But hey… that’s just me. All in all, I have to hand it to these guys. They managed to do something different.
