The last one to join the crew was the Peruvian ex navy officer Roberto Sala.
"My friend Paco called me on the phone asking if I and my family would like to spend a day on the beach with some Scandinavian friends of his. He told me they were preparing an expedition in the wake of Kon-Tiki", Roberto says. "I was looking forward to it; to meeting new people, to speaking English and learning more about this expedition". Two weeks later he learned that the Navy was looking for a Peruvian candidate to join the expedition. They wanted a young, but still retired officer! Roberto had a quick persuasive chat with his wife, and some days later his office was cleared and Roberto was the last member of the Tangaroa Expedition.
