There was a great movie shot by the sailors before and during their voyage, I think called Kon-Tiki, and released in 1950 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kon-Tiki_(1950_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kon-Tiki_(1950_film) ). It used to be up on Youtube, but I can't seem to find it. If anyone can dig up a link, it's very worth a watch. IIRC, they're almost hilariously casual about the whole thing, and they just went and crossed the Pacific on a raft of logs, with little support.
