Most 84-year-olds would settle for a Saga cruise. But this ancient mariner had other ideas...
- ANTHONY SMITH made 40ft by 18ft raft with pipes and telegraph pole
- Naming it the Antiki, he set sail from the Canary Islands at just 2 knots
- Mission was to cross the Atlantic and reach Eleuthera in the Bahamas
- He and his crew of three spent more than two months on the voyage
- But storms pushed them 700 miles off course to St Maarten in Caribbean
- Aged adventurer completed final 23-day leg a year later with different crew
