TODAY IN ADVENTURE | | Old Man And The Sea: Did you know? | | On April 7th (that’s today!), 2011, 85-year old Anthony Smith completed a childhood dream of his: He sailed across the Atlantic on a homemade raft. Smith, along with a three-man crew departed from the Canary Islands on a 40-foot-long raft that they called the An-Tiki, a pun on the age of the captain and the legendary raft trip across the Pacific by Thor Heyerdahl. The raft featured a nearly 40-foot-tall mast and a 400-square-foot sail that allowed them to travel at an average speed of 4 knots. They arrived at the Caribbean island of St. Maarten after roughly two months at sea, where Smith declared, “Yes, of course it’s a success. How many people do you know who have rafted across the Atlantic?” | | |
