Speaker 1 (00:54):
Do you like an extreme lost and found story?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
There's lost and found that that's anything but extremely extreme found.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
When my husband went to England as a man in
his forties and knocked, he's so unlike him, knocked on
the door of the house he had grown up in
and they knew who he was instantly. Unless we've got
something for you. It's a bag of marbles that they
had collected from the backyard. He lost his marbles and
then found his marbles. Extreme lost and found.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Do they find any collections of his older copies of Nave?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
He did, remember you asked that he mailed them to.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Oh, come on Nave, Nave and Ribald, great great magazine.
It's great publications. And you can't where do you get
your pornography from there? You can't get it anywhere. Outrageous.
I like the tailor of this surfboard. So a surfer
has lost his surfboard of Tasmania's South coast more than
(01:47):
a year ago, and then it's washed up thousands of
kilometers away in New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
The story may not be as simple as you think.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
No.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Mark Burrows from Chall nine explains.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Kind surfer Alvaro Bond made the fine in Raglan Harbor
on New Zealand's North Island, a custom surfboard covered in
muscles and barney calls. One minute, Alvaro is a kite surfer,
next is a detective.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
The shape of the board is made for very big waves.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
He hit Facebook and quickly the owner, Liam, a Tasmanian,
came knocking, explaining it fell off a boat on the
Tazzy Coast eighteen months ago. But how did it drift
two and a half thousand kilometers from Tazzy. One theory
it was picked up by the East Australian current. The
(02:41):
other explanation it was caught in the Antarctic circumpolar current.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
That the surfboard went south, got a hits to ride
on a really fast part of that current and went
all the way around the world before washing up in
New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I had some current trying to nick me board one time.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
When people look at you on your board, do they
never say look at the muscles on.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
That was going on a minute. He's been out to
see for some time.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
It was an interesting thing. Remember the story of the
floating rubber duckies. Yes, tiny little rubber duck I.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Know what happened. There was a container ship or is it.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
An experimenting over No, but it has ended up being
an experiment in plastics and how they can move through
the ocean. So these things were called the friendly float hees.
A group of plastic bath toys were on a ship
nineteen ninety two. They were on a holiday. They were
being shipped from China. There was an accident off the
North Pacific. The container had about twenty eight thousand of
(03:35):
these bath toys went into the ocean and for years
and years and years afterwards they've turned up in the
strangest places. Some of them have ended up in Australia.
Then fifteen years and seventeen thousand miles later, they've ended
up in the British British beaches, Britain and Island in
the mid two thousands.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
And are they in good good order?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
They are, because as they say here, they're kind of
self contained. They don't take in water. They're buoyant, very uniform.
So the way they floated, it's given oceanographers a very
interesting way to stay the ocean currents. They didn't sink,
so every few years there'd be another any of them somewhere.
And what about the story of plastic Island. It's like
(04:17):
Love Island.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Without the venereal diseases.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
This is a big floating garbage. It's like Love Island
in the North Pacific Ocean. It's three times the size
of France. This is shame for the world's biggest ocean
waste repository, one point eight billion pieces of floating plastic.
An American boat captain and oceanographer was horrified. He's the
(04:44):
first person who raised the alarm of it. On his
way back from a famous boat race in nineteen ninety seven,
he saw this sea of plastic. It took him seven
days to cross it.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Can you actually walk across it? I think he was.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Able to forge a path through it. I don't think
it's it's all floating, right, So he was like an
icebreaker through the Weissberse.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I was about to say that that there's your housing
crisis solved, right, away.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You've got this giant plastic island ready to go.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah. No, it's a new country. I don't think it's
solid enough. I like how you're thinking. But no, but
people are signing up for plastic island. Just hearing us
talk about it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
That is not Love Island, although people are signing up
for that bring your own STI chart.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Okay, kids, that's a.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Studying roof. It's a cutting roof.
