Luke has a tough time on Kon-Tiki
Being PL of a competition that we haven’t done for a few years was rough (last time we attended Kon-Tiki was in 2017). There was a lot of uncertain planning and a bit of confusion to go with it. Pre-build was great and definitely a good idea, although it didn’t help that we decided not …
