Ralph Brown, who builds unsinkable flats boats through his Florida company, Dream Boats Incorporated, made a successful run from the mainland to Bermuda and back several years ago.
Now he and his brother, Robert, are attempting a more outrageous voyage — from Florida to Germany in a 21-foot flats boat powered by a 115-hp Suzuki outboard motor and a 27-gallon gas tank. They’ll obviously be making frequent stops as they head up the Eastern Seaboard to Nova Scotia, Greenland and beyond.
They expected to put in at Boston Thursday.
