I enjoyed the piece on the Maori
regarding the other two books
did you read them (I never have)
and have you ever read the reviews on the first one on Amazon,
here: http://www.amazon.com/Quests-Dragon-Bird-Kekai-Manansala/dp/143030899
not altogether flattering I’d say
Sea travel dates back forever, and I'm never surprised where castaways and sea drift end up.
Btw, they have a new Kon Tiki out.
