The gift of natural in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. ⠀
⠀
This week, current Vortex explorer Ben Lecomte rendezvoused with Captain Charles Moore, who first discovered the Vortex of accumulated plastic waste in the Pacific, commonly known as the Great Pacific Garbage patch, nearly two decades ago. To mark the historic event, Ben gave the captain of @algalita a limited-edition @thevortexswim T-shirt in 100% natural merino. ⠀
