Kon-tiki

My reading group read a story called Kon - tiki. Its about a person called Thor Heyerdahl who made the raft with his crew. It was made out nine balsa logs lashed together with hemp rope. They were going to sail from Lima, Peru to the Polynesian Islands. Lots of people thought that the raft wouldn't make it but guess what, they made it! We made our own Kon-tiki so we could imagine what it was like when Thor Heyerdahl and his crew were sailing. I don't think that the water shows huge waves!  I made mine with a friend. We sailed them in a paddling pool. I think that my raft would sail to the Polynesain islands. My raft was the only one who sailed with a sail on it.
