"bottle" of solar planet, the round world's largest solar boat, he crossed the Pacific!

Re happier time has come to a "bottle" of the round the world's largest solar boat in the world:

"Dear Friends PlanetSolar. After leaving the Galapagos Islands on the morning of February 7, 2011, who first moved along the coast of the island of Isabella, before Turtle had happened to their volcanic landscape, which is half under water. It was great. Although the first day was excellent, the weather, sea, smooth as glass. In the first two days of presentation, we have even met Fischer, who appeared out of nowhere in the waters Pacific Ocean.

At the end of the first week sailing conditions worsened. But from the second week we were again well disposed toward the Pacific and has led us to the west in the direction of Polynesia. With the help of the Humboldt Current and trade winds east of the Marquesas Islands, we are getting closer. Hard to believe, but during the trip, we arrived at the remarkable average speed of five knots. Now we are also solar-powered vehicle with the greater distance. Since 2004, registration of the Midnight Sun team was held, which was driven by a solar car at a distance of 15.070 kilometers of the U.S. Canada. Since then we Monaco has covered over 20,000 kilometers back. On March 3, 2011 shortly before sunset was eventually land in sight. The next morning we arrived after 25 days at sea in French Polynesia.

One outcome of our meeting with the Ecuadorian government was in the Galapagos Islands, in cooperation with our partners, Canton of Vaud and sanitary engineering school-VD a visit to the Ecuadorian Minister of Education and Science, Manuel Baldeón was held in Switzerland. The small Andean country of South America has many ideas and ambitions for renewable energy and developing environmentally friendly technologies. Hopefully this dialogue will be in the near future concrete projects in the future.

Different Marquesas Islands, and the interaction with its inhabitants, all we've been very impressed. These islands are a real piece of paradise. We should follow the example of the Polynesians who used the wisdom of their natural resources sustainably. Each island is different and has its own advantages.

We continue our journey to Polynesia continue with a west. From here, go to Tonga and New Caledonia in late April. Then we went to Australia, the gateway to the Indian Ocean.

Until next time!
