From Randy McCallum - “The Island is now about 25 meters (80 feet) long, and doing well. There are now about 30,000 bottles. Some edible fruit has been grown on the Island already! Rishi is widening the Island, adding more plants, and will start the living quarters soon. He is looking at options to install a small motor, so the island can be easily moved”

  2. I just recently learned about the Spiral Islands and have joined Ritchy’s site! I think this man’s idea is incredible! It is something my husband and I intend to do - but we have sooo many questions!!! I understand he is on his 3rd Island, is that correct?
    My first and biggest question is — can anyone just go anywhere where there is water and just start building, or, does one need permission from whomever in order to start building?
