Rowing from Lima to Polynesia

Woman Sets Out to Row Across Pacific (AP) - "A 26-year-old French woman set out in a row boat Wednesday on a 4,900-mile solo voyage to Polynesia, hoping to trace Thor Heyerdahl's epic Pacific crossing six decades ago aboard the balsa raft Kon-Tiki."
Maud Fontenoy has a high tech craft, as compared to Ra II, the totora reed raft constructed for Heyerdahl on Lake Titicaca for his attempt to sail from Morocco to South America.
