Fascinating book. Some folks get lost. Some folks actually know how to find land in the middle of nowhere.
Looks like the guy in the article belongs to a family that has that first category nailed down.
Whoa, creepy.
wow, that’s weird

Sounds like one of those after school specials.
Interesting my daughter needed a memoir to write a paper for English - I handed her my beat up copy of Trumball’s “the raft” about three fliers who were shot down in wwII and survived 39 (?) days in the south pacific. I just helped her double check it an hour ago.
I guess since the article didn’t mention any relatives that his uncle didn’t reproduce while on the Island.
My wife & I spent a wonderful day exploring Fanning Island, the Republic of Kiribati. It is located 1000 miles south of Hawaii and was the closest “foreign” port. Norwegian Cruise Lines was required by US regulations to make a foreign port call before returning to Hawaii. So we steamed two days south to Fanning Island, got off the ship, had a picnic, got back on the ship and then teamed back north for two days.
The highest point on the whole atoll was about 10 feet above sea level. When the cruise ships didn’t come, they often went 3 months between ships that would bring the mail.
Great ending!
I finished reading Kon Tiki a few months ago. This is very believable after reading that book.
Well apparently the natives don't eat foreigners so for those looking for the ultimate SHTF destination...
