It sounds like a dream trip - a 47-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.
