Winter Talk: Nick Thorpe - Easter Island by Reed Boat

Back in the early months of the new millennium, travel author and RFYC member Nick Thorpe set off on an experimental voyage to Easter Island on a slowly-sinking boat made of bundled reeds. Tonight he recounts hair-raising details of the 2500-mile voyage, as well as subsequent boat-hitching circumnavigation of Scotland and how themes of improvised navigation and intentional drift continue to inspire his life and work. www.nickthorpe.co.uk
