I'm curious if anyone in the cruising community has heard of floating debris from the tsunami?
"A Russian ship’s crew spotted the debris - which included a 20ft long
fishing boat - last month after passing the Midway Islands."

When I was in Suvarov there was a lot of debris on the beach from Japanese
fishing boats, but I always assumed that they were
lost in the
South Pacific somewhere-- not debris from the
North Pacific that had somehow crossed the equator. But now I wonder-- do floating things tend to cross the equator?
