KonTiki 2017 took place recently, and was the coldest and one of the stormiest KonTiki weekends in some time. In spite of the rain, wind, hail and frost, 55 teams arrived to camp, taking part on this year's theme of "Let's Play!"
Friday afternoon saw a hail storm that sent many teams running for shelter, but by the time I was on site in the vening, construction was going ahead under lights along most of the shore.
This year, many teams had LEGO-themed decorations in their camp sites, from bricks and blocks to minifigs.
The poor weather continued on Saturday, and in the end about a dozen teams spent the hwole night on the water through the wind and rain - here they are the next morning, when the sun came out for a beautiful sunrise and morning.
Congratulations to the over all winners, 1st Eagles. The full, detailed resulsts scoresheet is available here.
I'll be taking a closer look at some of the campsite details from this weekend in the next few weeks.
