chapter 5!

This chapter talks about all the daily things done on the raft and more of their encounters with creatures in the ocean. The crew seems to be getting along and everyone has their own daily schedule. The fear of having a shortage of water and food is gone. They catch enough fish everyday along with their packaged food and are able to live off the rain water. Sometimes Heyerdahl will talk about something then have a flashback to explain it. They befriended a crab and made it their pet. This was so they wouldnt feel lonely while steering the boat. Heyerdahl goes into great detail about giant squids and their encounters with small squids that would jump onto the raft. "There were over 2,000 sea miles between us and South America to the east, and it was the same direction on to Polynesia in the west." They had made it halfway with few problems!
