The Plastiki Expedition is working to build a boat using recycled plastic materials, including plastic soda bottles for flotation. Architecture for Humanity is designing and building the vessel's habitation pod, which will be an experiment in off-grid living under harsh conditions. Once construction is complete, a trans-Pacific journey anticipated for spring/summer 2009.

Taken from the View Lounge on top of the Marriott in San Fransico, looking west away from downtown.
Visibility was not superb, so I may return and take the photo again on a more clear evening. Some opportunites for more excitement might also present themsevles when the convention center is hosting a large converence, or closer to the busy holiday season.

A dive bar in the Richmond District of San Francisco on Geary Blvd.
This was an experiment in shooting in close quarters with the autofocus on, which ended up turning out really cool. Well, except for the four frames that the camera didn't manage to shoot.

These workers are dropping small chunks of dry ice into 2 liter plastic bottles and sealing them. As the dry ice sublimates into carbon dioxide, the bottles fully inflate and are pressurized.

This is the original prototype craft used to test the concept of a floating hull constructed with plastic bottles. The Plastiki itself will be much much larger.
