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.

Heyerdahl took risks, but had many adventures and experiences we can only read about.

It seems ages ago that I read Heyerdahl. The only part that stuck with me about Kon-Tiki was his eating the flying fish that landed on his raft.

In retrospect, he beat the sushi craze by a good 30-35 years!
