My recolection is that Thor Hyerdahl sailed his blsa-wood raft from Peru to Polyonesia via the Humbolt Current.

Correct, what he was thinking was the RA which was a reed boat that Thor Hyerdal made in the Persian Gulf Area and sailed down the Indian Ocean and perhaps across the South Atlantic. I saw it docked in Oman in the Muscat Harbor, I think that was about 1978

So did he go from Peru to Polynesia or from Polynesia to Peru? Since you mention it being via a current, Peru to Polynesia is not the same as Polynesia to Peru.
