To save the oceans (A checklist)

Be heir to a vast fortune
Be named David
Get a “green” boat
Sail around the world to promote education and awareness about dismal ocean health
Remind everyone you’re on a boat, Mother Earth, don’t you ever forget!
Challenge other heir David sailing around world in support of oceans to a duel of boat awesomeness. Or heir apparent hotness.

David Rockefeller Jr. sails Around the Americas for ocean awareness. No nautical-themed pashmina afghan necessary.
