An-Tiki sets sail: Pensioner rafts across the Atlantic for WaterAid

On Sunday 30 January, 84-year-old adventurer Anthony Smith set sail across the Atlantic Ocean on the An-Tiki – a raft made from water pipes. He aims to raise £50,000 for WaterAid.

Mr Smith and his three-man crew of 'mature and intrepid gentlemen', aged from 56 to 84 years old, will use only the ocean currents and a sail to make the 2,800 mile voyage from the Canary Islands to the Bahamas.
