Kontiki 2010 - raft construction - Friday night

Construction began at 17:00 (about 3 1/2 hours ago). Most rafts are progressing well, with barrels and decking being attached. Just after I took this photo, it started to rain. In the past 25 years, we have only had three years without rain- as the Kontiki rulebook says: "Kontiki will run even if it doesn't rain."

Good Job! Rain or shine. We made a floating mini bridge and set sail on the Hood Canel WA, USA see photos gallery on www.pioneeringcompetitions.com
The Bridge is made from bent yard sticks and water bottles.
