A writer from West Virginia and 11 fellow adventurers plan to re-create that voyage this summer in a 54-foot-long, 16-foot-wide and 6-foot-deep replica of just such a ship as a Viking might have commanded. They intend to sleep on the open deck and navigate from the sun and stars as they sail along the coast of Greenland, across the Davis Strait and down past Baffin Island and Labrador before ending the approximately 1,900-mile voyage at L'Anse aux Meadows L'Anse aux Meadows Site on the northern tip of Newfoundland of the first known European settlements in the New World. Norse settlers may have established as many as three settlements there near the end of the 10th century. in Newfoundland, the only confirmed Norse site in North America. Some have attempted the route in motor-powered boats and some have sailed part of the way, but no one has ever completed the voyage in an authentic Viking boat, called a knarr, said W. Hodding Carter, a 34-year-old free-lance writer who is leading the expedition. ``Everything until now has been conjecture because no one has made this voyage since the Vikings, and no one really knows what it was like,'' Carter said. Carter, the son of former State Department spokesman Hodding Carter, said the voyage is an attempt to recapture the excitement of childhood, when he first read about Ericson and the Vikings in a book by Elizabeth Janeway. With no engine, the crew will be at the mercy of the wind and currents. The sailors will stay in touch with followers around the world through a satellite link and will carry modern navigational tools in case of emergency, Carter said. Powered by a 1,000-square-foot canvas sail, the boat can also be rowed by as many as six oarsmen. The voyage officially will begin July 6 in Brattahlid, a community on the southwest coast of Greenland where Ericson's father, Eric the Red Eric the Red, fl. 10th cent., Norse chieftain, discoverer and colonizer of Greenland.
