Travel writer Nick Thorpe blagged his way into a hare-brained 2500-mile Pacific raft odyssey after overhearing a conversation on a Bolivian bus. Today he reads from his recently published book, shows a few slides, and shares some nautical reflections on risk-taking, faith and the way men make friends.
