The CalypSol Group is getting ready for their two-month voyage now due to start early June 2012 on a long journey down the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, from Chicago to New Orleans. They will be using the same waterway used by Jolliet and Marquette in their birch bark canoes over 330 years ago. CalypSol will be the first solar power boat sailing the path, still referred today as the “French Corridor”. Final preparations are now underway for the first tests of the craft on the lake of Crystal Lake, IL.
