The day Stephane Guerin materialized like an unshaven ghost from the exhaust fumes and clambered onto my bus, I had no reason to expect that he would alter my life.

Description:
New York: Free Press, 2002. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 6x0x9. First edition. Remainder mark, a few smudges. 2002 Hard Cover. 256 pp. On a fateful South American bus trip, journalist Nick Thorpe overheard some fellow passengers discussing an improbable plan to sail 2,500 miles from northern Chile to Easter Island on the Viracocha -- a boat made of reeds. The crew's aim in reviving this pre-Incan boat-building technology was twofold: to reopen the controversial migration theories of Thor Heyerdahl, who sailed his boat the Kon-Tiki from Peru to Polynesia in 1947, and to have one heck of an adventure in the process. Thorpe talked his way on board Captain Phil Buck's Viracocha only to find himself plagued by uncertainty. Why did the crew include a tree surgeon, a jewelry salesman, and two ducks? What happened to the navigator? Did anybody actually know how to sail? And, most important, where was the life raft?
