Talisker Bounty Boat Expedition!

April 28, 2010 Marks the 221st anniversary of the Mutiny on the Bounty, when Fletcher Christian cast William Bligh and 18 of his men adrift in a 23ft open boat, which marked the beginning of one of the greatest open boat voyages in maritime history. During the following seven weeks, Bligh and his men sailed over 3,700 nautical miles, in an overloaded boat, with little food or water and no charts, from Tonga to Kupang in Timor. It has become more than legend and will provide massive returns on Google.

On that same day, in the same place, at the same time, Australian adventurer Don McIntyre, Mike Perham and two other crew, will relive Bligh's nightmare, by attempting to sail the same voyage under similar conditions, no charts, no toilet paper, not enough food or water, in an 18th century traditional open timber whale boat. McIntyre is not new to adventuring, but this challenge is like nothing he has experienced before.

We will have very good safety equipment, a strong risk minimisation program, and whilst we will have a GPS, charts, torches and the emergency food etc. onboard, it will be sealed in a box and not used. The hardships and human dynamics of the crew is part of the experience sought, to get close to Bligh and his men.
