Aspen - Log 10 Wednesday 4 Dec; Thor Heyerdahl



A boyhood hero of mine was the explorer/scientist Thor Heyerdahl. His exploits while sailing onboard the raft Kon-Tiki helped me when we crossed the Pacific Ocean in his wake only 3 short years ago.

Thor also drifted across the Atlantic in a reed boat called RA. I reminded Maria that it only took him 8 weeks to make that crossing. Maria replied very quickly, "Yes but RA sank before reaching the Caribbean!" She has a point there...

If a reed boat called RA and probably a few millennium before that, the Phoenicians, managed to sail across this timeless Atlantic Ocean then even if it takes us a lot longer than we expected Aspen and her crew will soon be back in our beloved Caribbean once again.

Now when will the ARC send that tanker full of fuel for us?!?
