An amazing story! In 1947, Thor Heyerdahl and his small crew set out to cross the Pacific Ocean from Peru to the South Seas on a small, homemade raft in order to prove his theory that ancient people could have completed such a feat. This story not only involves “overwatering” travel, but also a bit of overlanding through the Ecuadorian jungle to find balsa wood, back when headhunters were a real thing. A true adventure! His style of writing makes this a fun, easy read for evenings in camp.
