Timely, because this morning's Wall Street Journal features an article about the horrendous amount of pollution spewed out by ships.

WOW, If it's a hoax, it's a pretty elobrate web site for a joke, If it's for real, how in the world would it ever work. Other than the KMAN, who could fly a 320 M kite. And what if you drop it. I wonder what the relaunch is like? The idea is great, just like a giant spinnaker sail. The web site is worth checking out.
Hey Jason, I know what you are thinking, Good Job for me and Marty, when we are finally to OLD to kite with you youngsters. EYE MATEY, I'm the First Kite Officer on the OZONE SUPERTANKER.
