Roger and Bruce thanks so much for the info - since I got in to the Bounty and Pandora story this has been a question that keeps popping up in my mind -when your 80 things strike you a little different then they may other folks - ha - I was volunteer crewman on the HMS Endeavour replica up the U.S. west coast back in 1999 - wish I had known more about these trips - Thanks again!
