We are pleased to announce that The Ship of Imagination has recently partnered with ReThink Energy Florida to help them expand their organization while they provide some logistical support for the cruise.
We met Kim Ross, President of ReThink Energy Florida, in Tallahassee. After discovering their organization was promoting the same ideas we were, Carter asked if they wanted to get involved in the cruise aid by organizing some events along the way. So now we are flying the ReThinkEnergy Florida banner and Kim is busy planning our next stop. In Key West she put together a press conference at the Conch Republic Restaurant that went very well.
After her first press release we almost immediately got a call from the local paper. Shortly after that, two Irish men in a green Paddy Wagon showed up at Arc requesting to come aboard to interview us for the only daily newspaper in Key West, The Citizen. The article ran the next day and a lot of people we met at the press conference said they came after seeing us in the paper. The article was very complimentary of the Archimedes and we really appreciate Tim O'Hara and Rob O'Neal for their kind words about the Arc.
January 14th at the press conference.
Kim Ross: "In a new effort to expand our organization's mission to engage, educate, and empower citizens to take action and achieve energy independence in a healthier, more sustainable environment, ReThink Energy Florida is joining the solar-powered "Ship of Imagination", the "Archimedes" on its Cruise Aid for a Sustainable Florida, a grassroots effort to raise public awareneness about important energy issues in the Sunshine State."

Here is a link to an article in The Blue Paper. Carter also spoke on the morning Talk Radio program on WUS,104.1.
