Comments	Boat is a 42' catamaran. See www.pacific-expeditions.com/. Trip was to Pitcairn Island and dependencies (Oeno and Henderson Islands). Vessel conditions were basic but not awful. Bunks were in the hulls, which were below (lower) and more or less at (upper) sea level so that not withstanding 12-15' swells, no one was sea sick. Crew showed remarkable skill in kitchen so that food was quite good considering the circumstances. Trip involved diving in Pitcairn (OK diving but history made up for limitations of the area), Oeno (great coral but bad seas when we were there), Henderson (best viz any of us ever saw), Temoe, French Polynesia (excellent viz, wonderful hard corals around this uninhabited atoll)and Mangareva FP(also excellent viz, wonderful hard corals). Land in Pitcairn and Mangareva was interesting. If you take this boat with an open mind and a willingness to take the less than ideal, You will be satisfied.
