This Channel 4 recreation of the extraordinary journey of Captain Bligh is brilliant and well worth watching.   Don't forget Captain Bligh had 19 crew members on board and managed to travel 3,600 miles from waters off Tonga in the South Pacific to Timor.  Bligh's careful management of the food meant they even had 11 days rations left after they had arrived!  Captain Bligh was a true Hero and wrongly depicted on films.  Fletcher Christian should have been the baddie in the Hollywood films.  Ant Middleton who is leading the Team of 9 (now down to only 7) is a good leader.  Has anyone else been enjoying this programme?

Yes, lovin it!

I sailed for pleasure and raced a few times in my younger days, but never experienced the wrath of the ocean in a storm.

Must be terrifying.
