We wish to create a non-profit art, sailing, handicraft and adventure school on a sailing boat along the Pacific coast of Costa Rica focusing on ocean clean-up. Unfortunately, Costa Rica and a vast number of other countries have an uncontrolled waste problem. Thousands of different plastic bottles and bags are thrown into the sewer which leads into a river and – ultimately – into the ocean.

We want to fight this global problem in an interesting and fun-laden manner. We believe that by combining fun and work we will be able to motivate many people to come and join us on our mission. We will be going out on a sailing boat to collect all sorts of rubbish floating in the ocean.

While we are at sea we also want to provide sailing classes, teach different types of navigation or simply learning about life at sea. Back on land a local recycling company will relieve us of most of the garbage and retain materials to turn into artifacts or handicraft while being in the midst of one of the most intriguing sceneries of a tropical Pacific coast line.

We know that we are a small group tackling a vast amount of garbage floating as islands in the sea, but we need more individual projects like these and cannot rely on politics to do the job.

We would dedicate our time and effort to run this project, allowing people from all over the world not only to succumb to the lure of arts and the poetry of enjoying peace of mind but also the chance to go out there and actively do something to clean up at least a part of our earth.
