Just a couple of updates from the Plastiki crew. The vessel recently made landfall at Christmas Island, Kiribati, about 230 kilometers north of the Equator and almost 7000 kms from their destination of Sydney.
The vessel and crew appear to be in good shape, although crew member Dave T. was clearly stoked to be ashore. Check the waves breaking in the background of the video below.
Meanwhile, Dave R. has been snapping pics of this mid-Pacific atoll and Captain Jo Royle granted an email interview to the New York Times about life onboard a small boat with five blokes.
If you’re wondering how to get to Christmas Island, Kiribati, you might need your own boat. It’s a long way from anywhere.
