Good article. Must be wonderful to drop out, pull up anchor and set sail for distant ports. Heyerdahl took risks, but had many adventures and experiences we can only read about. I wish his successor well.

Aymara Indians in Bolivia – experts at reed-boat construction – had built the vessel, which was 38 feet long, 11 feet wide, and six tons in weight.

Geez.... To my way of thinking, that is some pretty good proof right there Hayerdahl's hypothesis was correct!
