Purchased for $5 and renamed Ground Zero, the boat is now in the hands of the boat is in the hands of American visionary Peter Myers.

Myers, currently drifting between waters at the top of the South Island and bottom of the North, has grand plans to do up the boat and shift it to Nelson, to establish a community of people who will live off and around it in a self-sustained bubble.
