As a child, in Cuba, I read the Voyage of the Kon Tiki, it was the greatest adventure book that I had ever read, still is today.
Smooth seas Thor, fare thee well.
Ditto... when I was 10 years old Kon Tiki really opened my eyes to what a great adventure reading can be...
My Dad knew a lot of interesting & sometimes famous people, nearly all gone now, as is he- all I can say is "Smooth sailing, clear skies, and a steady wind to you, oldtimers- the world will not see your like again."
