I don’t know where the trash came from, but it’s frustrating to have someone who doesn’t know anything contradicting my observations. Why are you speculating wildly about where I was, and making assumptions about something you haven’t seen in order to contradict an actual observation? All you’re saying is you don’t believe me, but based on imaginary made-up reasons. You should really go see it first. Occam’s Razor will support observations. What I saw was many many miles from a marina (deep sea fishing), lots of samples over several days of more or less constant density trash covering thousands of square miles. Trash from boats does not explain that. Occam’s Razor and all.
