‘Gotta agree, what an incredible act of seamenship he performed in that small lifeboat.’

fortunately for the men in the boat, Bligh was able to determine the most direct route to the nearest land, Timor, I believe it was, based on his cartographic knowledge...also, they were lucky to not be swamped by the storms they experienced...

Having done some sailing in my time, I still see those men in their 20 foot boat making that voyage. Amazing!
