Howdy Michel,
I wouldn't want to be suspended way out there on a "guywire" when a catagory
5 hurricane comes visiting.

Even better, let's close the loop!
Instead of far away (e.g. Azores) seeding, we could use a second sea line
(underwater pipeline) to reject seeds, process residues with fertilizing
value, and any additional fertilizer, from the processing station (e.g.
Bermuda, or a floating platform not unlike a deep sea oil platform) to a
nearby seeding point which will ensure a complete "spiral orbit" of the
crop. In the case of the NA gyre this would be some point between the US
Atlantic coast and Bermuda, or even on the US coast, or even on the Bermuda
coast.
The processing station would be advantageously somewhere between, or at any
extremity of a straight line between the harvesting point (the Eye) and the
seeding point...
What do you think, fellow Gyre Farming enthusiasts?
