A year ago, in October 2919, Katrin Scholz-Barth, president SustainableQatar set sail to collect, research and ultimately fight Ocean Plastics and Toxins. Realizing the vast amounts of micro plastics in the oceans and completing the voyage has been the hardest, most challenging and most uncomfortable adventure in her life to date. For two weeks in October, as a crew member on Leg 1 of an all-female Round-The World eXXpedition.com Sailing Voyage to collect, research and ultimately fight Ocean Plastics and Toxins, they sailed from Plymouth, UK to the Azores on the heels of Hurricane Lorenzo in unforgiving weather conditions in an already notoriously challenging part of the sea. It was relentless. Storm after storm.
