I am always looking into what other adventurers and people attempting the seemingly impossible are doing and from time to time, come across some great projects. Actually, this project was forwarded to me by a friend and once I took a look, had to share it with the rest of you. The project is called Earthrace, and it is composed of a crew of individuals attempting to race a powerboat around the world in under 65 days breaking the current world record. The project is also unique in that the boat they are using is powered completely by renewable energy sources and is one of the only World Powerboat Authority approved craft to use alternative fuels. They seem to have a good website and when they leave in September, you will be able to track their progress, read their blogs and watch video of the race. Also, if you happen to live in one of the 60 port cities listed, the team is planning a before and after world tour to highlight the race, sponsors, and educate others on renewable energy and positive maritime initiatives. Earthrace is another ambitious project that consists of both adventure and education. Good luck to the guys on the water from the guys on the road.
