The beggining

 Sitting there on the beach he had remembered one night before,
   
Thor sat on the deck of his boat, thinking.  How had this voyage started any way?  Before the voyage Thor and been a horticulturist, but he had decided to switch to South American history.  
   He remembered how ten years before he and his wife were sitting on the beach of a pacific island were he was doing horticultural research.  
  they had heard an old islander saying, "I am the only one left from the people who first came here.  There were men who taught us how to make statues and they were white men with beards."  That night he decided what he wanted to do.  When they returned home he did research about South America and its relation to the Pacific islands and found many books about it.  There were statues on some pacific islands and in South America that looked like they were made by the same people. 
   After years of research he finally decided to make a boat.  He would make one in the style that people going from South America to the Pacific islands would have made and then he would sail from South America to one of the Pacific islands.
