Plastiki Reaches Samoa

Illustration by Justina Bailey

After veering slightly off course, the Plastiki reached land on the island of Upolu in Western Samoa. David de Rothschild and Plastiki’s crew will chill out, shower, and sleep in beds in the port city of Apia before continuing their journey to Sydney, Australia.

Be sure to check out the Plastiki updates and learn about the boat, which is made of reused plastics and aluminum.

Read the Wayward and Windward blog post to find out what the locals use plastic bottles for!
