Nineteen-year-old Andrew Christian is the youngest person on Pitcairn. He was also our guide on several adventures while we toured the island. I took this image of him hanging out at St. Paul's Pool, our favorite swimming hole on Pitcairn.
The islanders' only source of income is from selling various hand-carved and homemade wooden products to tourists on passing ships. In this photo, Brenda Christian makes models of the Bounty to sell.
Kevin Thaw feeds Mrs. T, the islanders' family pet. She was previously known as Mr. T until a biologist visited the island and informed the Pitcairners of the tortoise's correct gender.

islanders were incredibly adept at riding these four-wheelers along very tricky, cliffside trails, where a slight misjudgement of speed or cornering would result in plummeting into the rocky coastline far below.
After accompanying Brenda Christian on a few octopus hunts, we were amazed to see her spearing octopi. She scamperd barefoot over extremely sharp rocks that totally shredded our shoes. She was truly tough.
Simon Young, an "outsider," brings fresh water to his house. He and his wife, Shirley, are constantly working on improvements to the home they built.
Mark Synnott gets his snorkeling gear ready for a swim in St. Paul's Pool. While this small, protected pool was great for swimming and snorkeling, at high tide, the crashing waves on the rock walls could sweep you out to the ocean if you weren't careful.

The Pitcairners store longboats in Bounty Bay. These longboats are their only modes of transportation off the island. The range for the boats is not very far, but the islanders are able to visit Henderson Island and passing ships with these boats.
A relaxed onlooker sits in the water while Kevin Thaw explores one of the many white-sand beaches surrounding our anchoring in Mangereva. Since there was a storm brewing out at sea between Mangereva and Pitcairn, we spent several days "stranded" in paradise.
Kevin Thaw climbs a sea stack high above the South Pacific.
