"In 1998, Mr. Neutrino set out to cross the Atlantic in one of these floating creations, 'Son of Town Hall', a 51-foot, 17-ton contraption built out of New York City garbage and once described as a "garden shed on water." Accompanied by three dogs and three crew members - including his fourth wife - he headed east from Newfoundland. Several weeks into the voyage, the raft's three sails filled with the ripping winds of a gale that lasted 15 hours."The trip also featured tankers, icebergs and a Russian freighter. Read more about him and his trip at the Post's site.
