Remember I said that Riley Beemin had a cool boat?

But now I have found the perfect boat for The Princess to ride around on.   Check this out and try not to pee from the excitement.

                                                
          
Quick, go find your MousePerson!   Where is that little devil?    Hiding again because he is tired of working for The Princess.    Oh, get real.   How hard can it be to take a little ride around The Internet every now and then? 

O.K.   Where was I?    Grab a Wagatha's and come with me to The Absolutely Coolest Boat in The World and The Princess Needs a Ride

You know how I always tell you that my Gram is so good because she listens to NPR all the time and one of our favorite shows is Science Friday?     Well yesterday, which was Friday, by the way, Grammie was listening to Mr. Ira talk with Mr. Pete Bethune who had this wonderful idea to make a fantastic boat all out of magic materials and show everyone that the Earth we live on needs to have some help.   Here is what you will learn when your MousePerson finally crawls out of bed and helps you:

The goal of Earthrace was to set a new world record for a powerboat to circumnavigate the globe, running 100% renewable biodiesel fuel, and with a net zero carbon footprint.  The amazing Earthrace boat started the attempt on 27 April 2008 from Sagunto in Spain.  After breaking the world record this month (June 2008), Earthrace is continuing with a two year promotional tour, visiting Europe, the Caribbean, US and Australia, before returning home to New Zealand.

Whilst on tour, as during the record attempt itself, the crew meet local people and talk about their experiences.  One of the most important goals for the Earthrace team is to connect with people and encourage discussion about the need to get renewable fuels into our energy mix and to inspire them to do something themselves to minimise their impact on the environment. 



This is a lot of big words for The Princess to understand, but I think you get the point.   More importantly, I really need help from all of my friends.   Please write to Mr. Bethune and ask him if The Princess can have a ride.  It clearly says that Mr. Bethune and his crew want to meet local people and talk about their experiences, so who would be more important to talk with but me?  Princess Daisy.

I am a little disappointed because I see nothing about anyone riding on this boat having a dog.    As you all know, it is very important for dogs to be involved in ALL of the important stuff happening in the news, and of course, you know that I, The Princess, is always available for a media moment.  

I will be most happy to meet with Mr. Bethune at his earliest convenience and show him that I have my life vest (which I intend to go borrow from Riley Beemin) and I am ready for a boat ride.     I no longer have any desire to ride on my Dad's Gator Machine when I could have an opportunity to ride with Mr. Bethune and tell everyone how important it is to save our environment.    

And, please.   Tell Mr. Bethune that I will bring my own dog biscuits.

Waiting for Mr. Bethune, in Leesburg, Virginia,

The Princess
Daisy


Oh --- and probably it would be best not to tell Riley Beemin about me borrowing his Gladiator jacket.  He would probably want to go along, and I just want to do this on my own.  Thanks
