Have you guys actually drunk most of this?!
I've drunk the few I've posted. Not always the very bottle (but some of them) but at least one of that kind.
Very little actually Hugh. That was not part of my original remit, but we have drifted so far from the original that it don't seem to matter now as long as it's booze related in some nebulous way to the sea.
Bligh's adventure in an open boat will not have much further to run, although I suspect that the Mutineers will have. Look out for today's episode.
Rob.
Today using nothing to navigate by but my

and the
Attachment 23156
we finally reached the

Where we replenished our supplies of

and
Attachment 23160
Bligh.
I have drunk none of them, Hugh. I am surprised that this thread has lasted as long as it has.
Beware of the coral reefs. Attachment 23166Attachment 23167Attachment 23168
Oh! Bowmore! Now we're reaching my domains. :happy:
One I haven't drunk but held in my hand to take the photo. "High coast"

We have now managed to negotiate the

and have set a course for

Bligh.
Are you going to visit the Solomon Islands on the way? Attachment 23241Attachment 23242
After 3,500 nautical miles in an open boat we have now finally left Timor behind and reached

Is this 'The End'? Attachment 23250Attachment 23251Attachment 23252Attachment 23253
Of this adventure it is unless...........
Attachment 23254
What will Mr Christian do next?
Rob.
He cannot have drunk much of that because Pitcairn Island only has a small population.
Apparently fresh water is in short supply so he might have to make this. Attachment 23255
Apparently the only thing left on Pitcairn except for a few descendants is this old cannon.

Bligh.
If you want historic remains, try Easter Island. Attachment 23320
I did not even know that had any of the Bounty or mutineers artifacts on it Dave.
What secret do you know?
Rob.
Today's ale is......
Attachment 23341
You will see why when I post Saturday's action at Chez Bligh.
Rob.
I do not know of any link between the Bounty mutineers and Easter Island but as we seemed to have exhausted Pitcairn Island, I would try somewhere else not too far away.
Are your Buccaneers sailing west? Attachment 23344
To be honest I am not sure where in the
Attachment 23345
The mutineers are but rest assured that as soon as i get back to England and inform the Admiralty
Attachment 23347
Will come.
Bligh.
What will they do? Send a gunboat? Attachment 23393
Most likely a .........
Attachment 23394
But it will need to be a ........
Attachment 23395
Bligh.
It would not be suitable for a Attachment 23396.
A more suitable Attachment 23397 might be the Attachment 23398.
That would be most appropriate Dave.
You would then be equipped with a crew of old salts.
Attachment 23399
Bligh.
Give them some Attachment 23414
Including a........

Rob.
Can't find anything on Destroyers so I guess that brings us full circle, and back to ......
Attachment 23468
Rob.
I finally found one. Attachment 23469
Good man.
Rob.
I do not think any of these were in the Battle of Jutland but the Germans used plenty of these in both world wars. Attachment 23470
They certainly used them in the lead up Dave.
Rob.
Can't find anything else Jutland related so back to our period with a.....

Bligh.
Then you will need lots of this, Rob. Attachment 23480Attachment 23481Attachment 23482Attachment 23483
Then all we need are a few of these.
Attachment 23485
Attachment 23487
Bligh.
Of course the cannonballs will be needing a.........
Attachment 23506
to secure them.
Bligh.
You will need one of these whilst loading. Attachment 23508
