I'm mostly a lurker on this list, but I learn a lot from you all. I have read some about Polynesian navigation. Is it possible that the Polynesians that the mutineers took with them knew of the existence of Pitcairn and directed the Bounty there? I have no evidence of this, just a speculation. Bill Sellar
