Survived the storm.

Circumnavigate

May 2005 - Duke Riley and Marie Lorenz set out on a circumnavigation of the Island of Manhattan in a home made plywood boat. Documentation of the journey was sent via camera phone to a website so their progress could be followed throughout the course of the two days and nights of rowing, battling storms, and sleeping on uninhabited islands and abandoned ferry docks.
