I was
sent a link to an article about a really amazing boat and this morning on my
way to work I took a small detour and
there she was,
Wow
that is one very impressive vessel. What do you think?
After leaving Oostende (Belgium) on August 30,
the largest solar boat in the world reached London a day later, thereby
bringing the campaign of scientific measurements along the Gulf Stream
(PlanetSolar DeepWater) to a close. The catamaran had been transformed into a
scientific platform since the month of June; the
onboard team of researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) completed its
collection of unprecedented data between Oostende and London. The information
gathered will be analyzed at UNIGE. The ship sailed on the Thames for the first
time, near the Tower Bridge, and finally moored at the West India Docks in the
heart of the British city.
You
can read more about it on their blog. If you’re interested go take a look.
