Kon-Tiki chapter 2 part 2

Heyerdahl then decides that the only way to get the attention and support he wants is to create an expedition to prove his work valid. Then as a surprise to me, he finds someone who is just as crazy as him. Herman Watzinger, the second to join the voyage, volunteers himself so he can take measurements. After he joins the party they obtain prototype equipment from a supplier. Thor then explains the next objective in this declarative sentence, "This was a good start. Our most important tasks were now, first of all, to find four suitable men who were willing to go with us on the raft and to obtain supplies for the journey." They do just that. They send a letter out to Erik, Knut, and Torstein, all of them replying with a yes. Half way through their new objective, they head to get their supplies. After they obtain the supplies they fly to South America to obtain the necessary Balsa wood to create their raft.

Herman really likes Pineapple.
