Looking for adventure? How about traveling on a luxury boat from Maui Hawaii to the Marshall Islands, where US Nuclear testing began in 1946 on Bikini Atoll after residents were evacuated. Over the years, 67 weapon tests were conducted, including the 15-megaton Castle Bravo hydrogen bomb test, which produced significant fallout in the region. The testing concluded in 1958. Time has past and a visit is pretty safe these days, we have a highly trained crew and we carry a good Geiger counter, just to make sure. This area is close enough to the edge of the World. From 1946 to 1958, it served as the Pacific Proving Grounds for the United States and was the site of 67 nuclear tests on various atolls.[16] The world's first hydrogen bomb, codenamed "Mike", was tested at the Enewetak atoll in the Marshall Islands on November 1, (local date) in 1952, by the United States.
How about Pitcairn Island?
Pitcairn is the least populous national jurisdiction in the world. The Pitcairn Islanders are a bi-racial ethnic group descended mostly from nine Bounty mutineers and the handful of Tahitians who accompanied them, an event that has been retold in many books and films. This history is still apparent in the surnames of many of the Islanders. Today there are approximately 50 permanent inhabitants, originating from four main families. You can't take a jet air flight to places like this.
Perhaps the journey could change your life, perhaps we could sit on the fantail of the Adventurer and smoke a good cigar?
