Yesterday, we returned from our test run with Junk, halfway to Catalina and back. The picture below says it all.

Not only did Junk float, she performed beautifully - a solid, sturdy, and most unusual looking craft. Many passing boaters did a double take, jaws dropping when they heard Junk was destined for Hawaii.....
Now, the final push to get her provisioned, solar panels installed, and final touches added before our JUNE 1ST Bon Voyage.
Join us to wave Junk farewellfrom 2:00-3:00 at the Long Beach Aquarium.
About JUNK
AMRF staff are building a raft out of 15,000 bottles and sailing across the Pacific Ocean, to raise awareness about plastic marine debris. We hope to share our clear message that this mounting issue is no longer "out of sight, out of mind"....
Take part in the journey!
Get on board, sponsor a bottle for $5, and write your message for ocean protection. We'll carry your messages in a bottle across the Pacific, and deliver to local and state legislators.
A Raft In Progress.
