Dewan's team is preparing to sail a small balsa raft between Boston and Provincetown, Massachusetts, this spring. Their ultimate goal is to construct an actual-size model for the trip from Ecuador to Mexico. -- just as they theorize it was done 1,300 years ago.

Okay, I'm not a sailor -- but I'm pretty sure that the conditions of the North Atlantic and Cape Cod Bay in spring are not the same as the Pacific Ocean at the equator - where Ecuador is located.

Ergo, this experiment will prove exactly what if the conditions aren't the same?

the traders may have spent a few months in Mexico and returned when currents shifted

So Puerto Vallarta was a popular place way back then...
