It sounds like a dream trip - a
48-day cruise around the South Pacific.
But adventurer Don
McIntyre doesn't like to do things the easy, conventional way. This time he got
it into his head to re-enact the epic voyage of Captain William Bligh after the
infamous mutiny on the Bounty.
Set adrift off Tonga in a
boat scarcely larger than a dinghy, Bligh made it all the way to West Timor -
some 4000 nautical miles.
Don set off in a faithful replica
of that longboat, packed with minimal rations and no map. He even short-sheeted
himself on toilet paper, little wonder his fellow adventurers were on the verge
of their own mutiny for most of the voyage.
