“It’s just been an adventure. Every day when we would check on (the boat), it was just crazy,” said Rye Junior High School student Jack Facella.
For almost a year, a New Hampshire science class tracked a miniature, drifting boat and even received pings from a GPS device they placed on board before losing the signal.

The Rye Riptides began as a science class project in New Hampshire. Some 462 days and 8,300 miles later, a sixth-grader retrieved it from an uninhabited Norwegian island, with its notes still intact.
