A team of about 20 people - Germans, Bolivians, Bulgarians and from other nationalities started the Abora IV mission in the Varna lake near Beloslav about 450 km to the East of the Bulgarian capital Sofia. The goal of the mission is to build a ship entirely made of reed and wood, like one used in Ancient Times. The ship will be 14 meters in length, 4 meters wide an will weigh in at 12 tons. She will set sail from Varna, passing through Istanbul, Athens, Crete sailing towards Alexandria, distance approx. 3.000 km. The team that makes Abora consists of reed boat builders, carpenters, archeologists. The one who is responsible for the Abora IV boat is Fermin Limachi Arratia, the last of the reed boat builders, son of the man who built Thor Heyerdahl's boats. Photo by: /Impact Press Group/NurPhoto
