Blogging On The High Seas

Reading Pete Bethune's blog is like reading Kon-Tiki, except with all the spelling errors you've come to expect from the internet.

Bethune is the captain of the Earthrace boat, a funny-looking ship that is "racing around the world for a better planet." The crew was attempting to circumnavigate the globe in 65 days using only biodiesel, according to Popular Science Blog.

But there's no mention of that time limit now, because the boat was held up in Guatemala for several days after a collision with a fishing boat that killed a Guatemalan fisherman. Be sure to check out Bethune's March 18th entry for his account of the events.
