His fabricating skills look pretty good, his seamanship skills on the other hand suck.

He left at St. Augustine and came back to shore south of that in Flagler County 🤣🤣🤣!

Wrong direction.

We read “Kon Tiki” in junior high school around 1963. I still remember it was a great adventure story. I’ve been meaning to re-read it someday. I better get on that as my remaining days are getting fewer.

Not exactly. He ended up a lot higher than he expected.


Didn’t he have a BB gun to pop a balloon or two if he got to high?

The guy I remembered had a pellet gun and 5 or 7 weather balloons. His chair was tied by a rope to the bumper of a car. He untied the rope and shot up higher than he thought he would go so he became too scared to shoot out any of the balloons. A passenger jet reported him to the LAX and a helicopter rescued him over the ocean.

No time right now to look it up but I recall an account of somebody using a contraption that looked identical to Fla. Man’s to roll across Lake Erie about a hundred years ago.

It worked well for the first 30 miles or so. They found the body a few days later, still in the contraption.
