Packed up snorkel gear and jumped on the stand-up-paddle-board early to try and find the Kon Tiki monument that apparently was hiding in the palm trees somewhere on this reef! Adrian decided to row/swim/reef hop instead of paddling. Fairly strong wind and current made the paddle a bit tricky! While paddling though the reefs numerous black tip reef sharks were swimming about trying to catch their breakfast! They are a bit skittish when you approach them and don’t stay around for very long! After an hour of paddling I found the clump of trees on small strip of land that supposedly was the island where Thor Heyerdahl and crew beached their raft! White birds were less impressed with our arrival and were a bit intimidating by flying close and screeching.
We walked around the island until we saw a trail that lead into where the monument was. Pretty cool!
Back to the boat ain’t so bad either! Time for lunch, nap and afternoon snorkel!
