1978: Raft Where Are You?
Faithful to his
established habit of only engaging in projects that have never been
realized before or that have remained unsuccessful, he abandoned his 'Sky Project' and set out on a third oceanic enterprise in 1980.
It was an Atlantic crossing on a primitive raft, manned this time by Fons and his girl friend Kee.
During
unfavourable atmospheric conditions in January, they left the harbour
of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and reached the isle of Barbados 67 days
later, battered but unhurt.
This time Kee wrote a book about the adventure.
