One day, when discussing baby names, Mrs Athens asked "what about Brendan if we have a boy?"
Er, no thanks.
There was a saint Brendan that some say sailed to America in the 6th century. Some maniacs in the 70's recreated the voyage in a boat built using the technology they had available then. They made it, too.
That would be Tim Severin and his crew
Aye, that's the guy. My dad told me about it, he loves anything to do with the sea. If you ever go to Cushendall, he'll take you out in his little boat.
The bit of ancient british history that stuck with me was how hardcore the druids were. Catching Romans in the welsh valleys, tying them all up in tall trees, waiting to see an approaching battalion on the horizon and then setting the tree on fire. Pretty moody. And if they caught a roman family they'd get the woman of the house, cut her tits off, sew them to her lips and then crucify her in front of the kids. I wonder why they did that. And I wonder if that's why my dad used to say I had a titty lip when I was pissed off.
Hang on. Maybe all this is bullshit and my Latin teacher was a psychopathic fantasist.

It must of been something in the air around that time in the mid seventies but a similar journey was taken by a group of Peruvians who sailed across the Pacific in a rustic craft landing in Queensland on the Australian East coast.
Was that the kontiki expedition?

Having googled it was Las Balsas expedition that I was referencing
