Here's a book from 2002 "Eight men and a Duck" - 'On a fateful South American bus trip, journalist Nick thorpe overheard an improbable plan: to sail 2500 miles to Easter island on a boat made of reeds. Intrigued by this modern-day Kon-Tiki, he blagged his way on board only to find himself with nagging questions. Why did the crew include a tree surgeon, a jewellery salesman and a duck? What had happened to the navigator? Did anyone know how to sail?'

Oh, my aching sides.
