Bligh gets a bad rep from the movies. None is correct in their overall presentation of the crew and their dynamics. Cut and paste the correct bits together and a close approximation could be had.

Bligh was one of the European world's best navigators and he was extremely kind to his crew (for his time). He was nothing close to as cruel as shown in the movies. One BIG thing is the Bounty's crew were volunteers - none were press-ganged as shown in many of the movies and the Royal Navy also failed Bligh by not putting aboard Marines to back up his authority.

Bligh's abilities were overshadowed by Cook and Vancouver. They all sailed sailed together (with Cook as captain).

Bligh's great failure was in Australia. He really botched his governorship.

Thanks James! Very interesting excerpt from the book. I see why it terrifies you and excited you at the same time.:) I'm going to finish your article now from the magazine. So far I'm enjoying it, didn't know you were such a good writer as well as a sailor.

I’ll ask no one to do what I fear to do myself. All time quote. Too bad he was a mutineer

Back then The Posting Read – Whalers Wanted No Need to Know How to Swim. Great Grandpa Rene also had a Tobacco Farm. As a young girl when my Grandmother Emilia Rene worked the farm she developed an allergic reaction. So her dad Great Grandpa Rene taught her how to smoke the pipe. I remember when Grandma died at the age of 100 and still enjoying her pipe !!

Merry Christmas and peaceful, safety, blessed new year to you sir !! God bless you !!

hey brother, I just discovered your mission. I am so inspired and sorry to loop it back to myself. But I just bought a six-meter sailing boat to start (inner sea Netherlands). I have someone who will show me the literal ropes. .But I'm just looking for some smart general reading to get into it theoretically. Any tips on reading or philosophy to get me going would so welcome. Love and all the best.

James, I’m a fairly new subscriber. Love all the content! Is there a specific episode that details your background and life before triteria in general? I’m just impressed with your sailing knowledge and especially your chilled out disposition.

Hi James. I'm a new subscriber. Love your content. Question. I always see you alone but you speak in plural. Example, "now we are bound for huahine". Please explain. Just curious.
