 Rafting the Pacific 
Just finished an excellent story in the New Yorker, originally published in the June 27, 2005 issue, about a man, Poppa Neutrino, who planned to sail his raft across the pacific. While the article is not online, there is a interview of the author on the New Yorker site. The raft was made from mostly scrap lumber and styrofoam. At one point Neutrino was telling a Mexican fisherman about his planned trip and the fisherman couldn't stop laughing, the idea was so incredible. Neutrino used an earlier raft to sail across the Atlantic. For more info see the Floating Neutrinos web site.
