Not since Thor Heyerdahl's epic Kon Tiki has a voyage this improbable been attempted to solve an anthropological mystery. Then there was the beach--source of endless fascination and involvement--canoes and other small boats, and the many rafts we built out of driftwood, which we imagined, to be the Kon Tiki.
