THE REMAINS OF LA BALSA EXPEDITION OF 1973
KON TIKI MADE IT TO FRENCH POLYNESIA IN 1947
THE LOGS ARE BALSA TREES FROM PERU.
THE 2010 EXPEDITION WILL HAVE A FEW EXTRA HOME COMFORTS
BUT THE BASIC IDEA IS STILL TO RELY ON THE OCEAN CURRENTS TO CARRY US ACROSS FROM SOUTH AMERICA TO AUSTRALIA IN 200 DAYS.
THIS WILL BE THE LONGEST RAFT VOYAGE IN HUMAN HISTORY
