Akaroa has some legions. One hundred and forty years ago two boys created their own by making a raft out of flax and set off home across the harbour. They had delivered a horse for their father, but decided they didn't want to walk back the way they came, so they rafted.
The local school has been following the challenge over the years on more modern builds, but now it's time to test the real thing.Raupo and flax
It's great to see kids are still up to challenges in today's world.

Walked the beaches of Sardinia, Italy, thinking of the characters of @utunu's #Rafts. My shell gathering does them no justice, but I collected a small tribute anyway. <3

Should you find yourself in a water landing situation, you may deploy the emergency set of lemons. Saved by the bouyancy of citrus. #MitchHedberg #airplanes #rafts

Barrel rafts.
