Winter Talk: Nick Thorpe - Easter Island by Reed Boat
21st March, 19:00 - 22:00
Back in the early months of the new millennium, travel author and RFYC member Nick Thorpe set off on an experimental voyage to Easter Island on a slowly-sinking boat made of bundled reeds. Tonight he recounts hair-raising details of the 2500-mile voyage, as well as subsequent boat-hitching circumnavigation of Scotland and how themes of improvised navigation and intentional drift continue to inspire his life and work. www.nickthorpe.co.uk
Bar will open at 19:00, with talk commencing 19:30
