Tangaroa Pacific Voyage Preparing the Raft  Organizing logs for transportation to Peru where the raft would be built. The raft was made of 11 balsa logs, the longest one in the middle of the vessel measured 17 meters (about 56 feet) long, while the others were 14 meters (46 feet). Despite the fact that balsa produces one of the lightest weight woods, the logs all together weighed more than 20 tons. Photo by: Anders Berg/Tangaroa _____ Back to Index AI 14.4
