very nice! loved the film.
long ago, i had the original kon-tiki book, (someone later stole it from me though) was fascinated with it.
after reading of Thor's adventure, i experimented to see how it works for myself, and i built a small log raft (only about 15 foot, was only good for one or two people) out of aspen logs (that wood seemed to float nearly as well as balsa, though i sealed the wood.) and mine used centerboards...mine had instead of a square-rig, a crab-claw rig, a sail i borrowed from one of my old polynesian outrigger canoes.
it actually sailed quite well, even able to tack upwind, and on a windy day, i could reach about 5 knots with it, max..not bad, really for what it was...i towed a friend behind in an inflatable dinghy with it, too....even on a lake, with just this small experimental raft, i could see that such a thing on a larger scale could easily cross oceans safely.
that little experimental raft did not last long though, before some kids in the neighbourhood tore it apart, but it was fun while it lasted. -
Wow, what a great, great journey... :-)

Je revois avec plus grand interet ce film que lors des conferences de l epoque quel homme admirable monsieur HEYERDAHL

Amazing story of the re-enactment of the original Kon-tiki journey! Especially the local links to people who can still remember the fist expedition!
-
Well, let's be honest. If anyone could pull it off it'd be the Norwegians! They do have quite the tradition of navigation. I'm jealous. I would love to have been able to do something like this.

Nobody got mad when they pulled in that bull from the water? Imagine how many more dolphin they couldve had, had they left it and waited for the school to follow. Shit made me yell at my laptop lol.

Please watch this other documentary https://youtu.be/8rsSpMEulYM All his life, Olav Heyerdahl had heard the stories of his grandfather: of how he crossed the Pacific in 1947 on a primitive raft made of balsa wood. Now at last, he got to experience it first hand. As a tribute to his grandfather and the original Kon-tiki expedition, Olav and his team built a new raft in Peru and sailed it all the way to Raiatea in French Polynesia. When they arrived on the 24th of July 2006, after four months at sea, over a thousand people greeted them in a traditional Polynesian welcoming ceremony. This is a spectacular and unique documentary of the modern day voyage, with footage of the 1947 expedition setting the context. The 1947 Kon-tiki film won an Oscar, and Thor Heyerdahl's book has sold more the 50 millions copies worldwide. At the time, the whole world was amazed by this eccentric Norwegian explorer. The story continues to enthral 60 years later, only this time in colour. ---------------------------------------------------- Footage by Nordic World © 2005-2012 http://nordicworld.tv/
