Lately I've been following a young mans quest to sail across the sea's. Zac might be the youngest person to ever cross the world in a sail boat and you can follow his adventure via his blog. What is also fun about his adventure is his ability to utilize technology on his trip. Using Google Earth to track his locations, using solar panels to assist his travels and the use of a Satelite phone to stay in touch with his Parents and his electrician in North Carolina.
Zac left Hawaii a few days ago and is heading toward Majuro Island. In the middle of the Pacific toward Australia.
Recently Zac talks about planning his trip to avoid Pirates. Yes I did say Pirates. Modern day Pirates if you didn't know exist everywhere but for the most part are out of Indonesia. I have read in the past about these through many different sources and it's interesting to see there is a web site that tracks the crimes;Piracy Attack Maps.
