The significance of the famous "Bering land bridge" springs to mind. I guess the evidence of coastal voyaging, island hopping and even ocean voyaging is, of necessity, much more sketchy. <br /><br />I just can't help feeling that our ancestors were migrating from place to place via rafts and boats many thousands of years before US Sailing introduced Bare Boat Cruising Certification.Tillermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639738519386820997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-43577317055702979612011-03-04T22:45:26.442+00:002011-03-04T22:45:26.442+00:00Great story, JP.
