Pitcairn Islands
Pitcairn Islands One of the most inaccessible places on Earth. I found 2 nice blogs about the history and its strange ways. ![]() https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitcairn_Islands Almost 5,000 kilometres of ocean separate Pitcairn from either Peru or New Zealand; it is one of the most remote places on earth. It was some 50 years ago, and more, that I braved (not entirely willingly) the fearsome journey through the surf breaking over the coral reefs that surround Pitcairn Island. It is a journey that can only be made by long boat, crewed by the ferociously fit men of the island, willing their fragile craft into Bounty Bay. Had washing machines been invented then, I would have likened the journey to being on ‘fast spin’, as it was, I had nothing to compare it with. I was terrified. My reward was the flying fish, which my Father bought me. http://annaraccoon.com/2015/10/27/th...y-paedophiles/ dd 2015 http://annaraccoon.com/2010/05/15/ro...soe-fantasies/ dd 2010 |

Re: Pitcairn Islands
This island is where the sailors of Mutiny on the Bounty (the real story, not the movie) settled with their Polynesian wives. All the people there now (not very many) are direct descendents of these sailors.
