And great job on the blog. Keep it up!!!<br /><br />As an environmental scientist, I would like to add something:<br /><br />It is NOT legal to throw plastics in the ocean. This is according the Marine Plastic Pollution Research and Control Act (MARPOL) which went into effect on December 31, 1988, making it illegal for any U.S. vessel or land-based operation to dispose of plastics at sea. Annex V completely prohibits the disposal of plastics anywhere into the sea, and severely restricts discharges of other garbage from ships into coastal waters.<br /><br />Thanks for letting me share.<br />Shawn<br />s/v Taoshawn and chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05900141047402705606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7788026751729666938.post-43432538003668379152011-04-12T21:15:13.487-07:002011-04-12T21:15:13.487-07:00>>Yes, some things do shift around underway....>>Yes, some things do shift around underway.<br /><br />Like the standard flight attendant comment "items may have shifted during flight".<br /><br />Sorry it doesn't look like you'll make the Gambiers, but you're going to love wherever you land, I'm sure.Jayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856609667856280361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7788026751729666938.post-91145859294654840392011-04-12T17:37:58.740-07:002011-04-12T17:37:58.740-07:00Carla, I am loving reading about your incredible a...Carla, I am loving reading about your incredible adventures.
