South Specific -- Into Tahiti {Gadling}

Nov 10th 2009 2:45PM Slight correction. :-))

Let us recall that Tahiti represents the figurative tipping point of the H.M.A.V. Bounty (as in "p i r a t i c a l s e i z u r e")-as in, the ship of bright young traveling men who sailed to the ends of the earth on assignment, came upon these fair isles, dropped everything, quickly forgot their duty to God, King (Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III was never involved in the breadfruit mission or other. The Bounty was His Majesty's Armed Vessel)and Country, took unto themselves Tahitian wives, and went severely A.W.O.L. Two days in Tahiti and I'm totally sympathetic.

Until the piratical seizure gets official approval,

There was no mutiny of/on the Bounty.
