With the skyline of Manhattan behind it, the reed boat, Abora III, sails in the Hudson River after casting off from a dock in New York bound for Spain, Wednesday, July 11, 2007. Dominique Gorlitz, a former teacher from Chemnitz, Germany, says the voyage his boat is taking would replicate ocean voyages that he believes were taking place 12,000 years before Christopher Columbus.

Reed boat heads for Spain from NYC

They’re insane. They should at least have a real ship follow them in case of an emergency.

The girl is brave to cross the ocean on such a small boat with 9 men. It’s only about 30’ long. That’s not very big for 10 people. I wonder how many weeks it’ll take before they go nuts and start seeing her as a pork chop.

The fragile-looking craft was towed down the harbor past the Statue of Liberty, to be cut loose once it passed into the open sea.

Do they think ancient man would have had a TOW!!!?? Experiment over.

Because of the prevailing winds and currents, this W-to-E trip is a “tougher sail” than E-to-W.
