Trash in the ocean
A while ago somebody posted a link to a blog about a man's discovery of a tangled mass of plastic debris in the Atlantic Ocean off of Florida. Or at least I think it's the Atlantic Ocean off of Florida. I forgot to clipswarm it and my memory sucks. Can anybody help me find the link? Thank you.

Let the baby roast rest for an hour, then have your guests help pull the meat. Everyone will have fond memories of the event to cherish FOREVER!

Just remember to give yourself plenty of time for cooking (a field-dressed baby can weigh upwards of 30 lbs and take a FULL DAY to cook!)

I prefer free range, breast fed toddler as there's more dense muscle mass.

Do you keep them penned up like veal and infuse them with formula or mother's milk? I hear formula fed babies have a medicinal taste. I don't want that for the party.... I would be a terrible host.

No need to leave the skin on. A toddler's got a lot of good marbling.

I'd go dry rub and smoke it like a picnic meep.

Google oceanic trash or something, I found this about the "Pacific Gyre."

Those are both excellent articles, but the one I'm thinking of is a photojournal of a guy sailing or motoring or whatever and he comes across what looks like a mirage of trash, so much trash it's like it's land, but he plows through it anyway.
Thank you though. More thank yous to whoever finds the article, if it exists and my memory isn't playing tricks on me.

That link is amazing and so identical to my imagined 'plastic island in the ocean' link I'm disheartened. I'm worried I made it all up. Oh well. I'm still open minded to the possibility of there being a trash island link out there somewhere though.

Dinoza what flashed into my memory is Mundhra's link.
Off Florida we have the 'Great Tire Reef' to be proud ofhttp://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-02-17-florida-reef_x.htm Also there have been a number of cases where trash and medical waste would wash up for weeks at a time, usually traced back to a Cruise Ship or Naval Vessel. Other than that I've seen everything from a Couch to a dead bloated Pig offshore in S Florida but not in great globs. Most stuff doesn't linger very long because of the Gulf Stream Running North at 6mph.
