The video isn't working for me...
Looked up the wiki though.
Damn that dude is a bad ass... crossing the Atlantic with a raft.
Gonna have to find a copy and watch.

From the wiki on the raft he used.

Son of Town Hall was a junk raft which made a Transatlantic crossing in 1998, built by Poppa Neutrino.

Writer Alec Wilkinson gave a vivid description of Son of Town Hall in his book The Happiest Man in the World, saying: "The raft looked like a specter, a ghost ship, as if made from rags and rope and lumber, a vessel from the end of the world, or something medieval, a flagship of nothingness, the Armada of the Kingdom of Oblivion.
