Floating Neutrino - First Scrap Raft to Cross the North Atlantic Ocean

If you see a large, funky raft made of scrap plywood and recycled styrofoam floating on the water don't be alarmed, it's only the Floating Neutrinos, originally a family of street musicians. In 1998 Floating Neutrinos have managed to cross the Atlantic in a raft made from recycled materials recovered from dumpsters and docks in New York city. Their next project is an Orphanage Raft, "for street orphans from third world countries such as Brazil, African countries, and India. The children will be those who are living in and surviving on the streets, with literally no one looking out for them or taking responsibility for them. We will get to know them and their situation thoroughly before they ever come to the raft. We are not looking to pick up runaways or anyone who has responsible adults in their picture...Once onboard, if they choose to stay, they will be given a floating, travelling home, and an education."

In the case of all the Neutrino rafts, they used mainly recycled wood, logs, styrofoam and polyurethane foam. Other floatables thy've used include empty plastic jugs and bottles, cork, and basically anything that floats. A Floating Neutrino raft is "self steering"and "self-righting" floating object.
