Just for general interest, a raft made of plastic bottles called - what else - Plastiki left San Francisco for Sydney yesterday, to raise awareness of the amount of trash floating about on the oceans (and possibly add to it if she breaks up..). You can read about it at the BBC web page here.
If pioneering raft voyages whet your appetite and you have not seen the Thor Heyerdahl documentary on crossing the Pacific on a raft of nine balsa wood logs, in 1947, you can watch the whole 58 minute feature at youtube here.
