Two men test out their "poo canoe" a vessell made from recycled paper and sheep feces.

A canoe made of poo is getting ready to dirty up the English Channel for its maiden voyage.

Two men from Walesare getting ready to cross one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes inan 18-foot vessel made entirely of sheep feces, recycled paper andbeeswax, MSNBC reports.

The two men, Lez Paylor and Lawrence Tomsrun a company that produces recycled paper made from sheep poo. Theydecided to take their venture to sea by creating the boat.

Notonly is the ship environmentally-friendly, the paddlers are crossingthe channel for a good cause. The pair plans to raise money for theirfavorite charity Air Ambulance in Wales.

They hope to raise a dollar for every sheep in Wales, around $12,000, NBC reports.

Paylorand Toms took the poo canoe out for a test-paddle before they maketheir big crossing. While the boat was well-balanced, a large wet spotappeared at the bottom, indicating more layers of poo may be needed.

The two Welshmen returned the canoe to their shop to apply another layer of poo

Holy Sheep Sh*t, Batman! 

Can you imagine Roger Ramjet in this canoe? 

Is that a bowsprit, or are you just glad to see me?
