The boat has no nails or screws; entirely wood lashed together with rope

they're sailing around the pacific again, saw them last weekend when they stopped in seattle. toured the boat, went to a presentation they did about the history and navigation

met one of the 13 crew aboard, 70-something year old man who has been sailing on this boat for decades. He had some really good stories!

it's incredible!! they just memorize how stars will look at different latitudes and times, watch the birds in the day, and feel the water temperature and currents. It sounds like a skill that is built over a lifetime!
