It was way interesting. Footage from the actual trip was used so its all in Black and white and has a warm "home movie" feel to it. Quite an adventure those guys embarked on. Those fellas definately qualify as some ingenious adventurers and fishermen. You gotta see the size of some of the fish these guys were catching! Mackers for sure. Although I have to say, I didn't need to see as much of the fish beating that was showed. I will have to find some copies of Thor's book an give them a good read. Here's to Thor and the crew of the Kon-Tiki.Thanks for sharing the adventure. Chongolio
