Reader's note

This brilliant title will add some colour to your vintage bookshelf! The Kon-Tiki Expedition is the true story of Thor Heyerdahl, looking to replicate a journey of 4300 miles from Peru to the Polynesian Island of Puka Puka. Read on as the team discusses how far they have left to go - “98° 46′ west by 8° 2′ south—a good day’s run since yesterday, chaps!” He took my pencil and drew a tiny circle on a chart which hung on the bamboo wall—a tiny circle at the end of a chain of nineteen circles that curved across from the port of Callao on the coast of Peru. Herman, Knut, and Torstein too came eagerly crowding in to see the new little circle that placed us a good 40 sea miles nearer the South Sea islands than the last in the chain. “Do you see, boys?” said Herman proudly. “That means we’re 850 sea miles from the coast of Peru.”“And we’ve got another 3,500 to go to get to the nearest islands,” Knut added cautiously.- seems they still have quite a way at this point!
