This part of chapter 6 contains many different topics. Heyerdahl and the other crew memebers began going out onto the dinghy so they could take pictures of Kon Tiki and have some relaxation time away from everyone. Out there on the dinghy made all of them realize how small they were and put into perspective the lifestyle without technology. "Whether it was 1947 B.C. or A.D. suddenly became of no significance.We lived, and that we felt with alert intensity."
Next, Heyerdahl goes into discussion about Easter Island and the famous Easter heads. He talks about how and why the natives built these colllassal statues. To keep themselves busy on the boat they played differnt fishing games. They caught dolphins and sharks for enjoyment. The parrott that was on board accidently fell overboard which caused the morale to go down a little and made everyone more cautious about falling overboard.
