Doug Royer wrote- "An interesting part of the book was Bligh's observation of the transit of Venus while in Tahiti." Something seems wrong here, and I ask Doug to recheck that account if he can. Bligh didn't sail with Cook's first voyage, the one where the Transit of Venus was observed, from Tahiti.
