[757labs] Autonomous Transatlantic Boat

[Almost_There at COX.Net]

757 Labs;

     I still think a small Autonomous 
Transatlantic Boat would be a really cool 
project; see this link for free propulsion - 
http://LiquidR.com/technology/wave-glider-concept/ 
(rather ingenious!)  It has demonstrated voyages of over 2500 miles.


     Good Luck!
