Q2 Post7

Now the Endeavour and her crew have reached their important destination, an island the natives called Tahiti but the crew names it King George's Land. They need to set up a makeshift fort so they can take the readings of Venus which is why they are on this journey. While he is on the island, Nich meets a newa friend whose name is Tarhito, they have a lot of fun on the island together since Nich isn't that useful setting up all the astronomical equipment and doing all the skilled labor that only a few of the crew members have. The crew ends up staying on the island for several months due to the fact that they were a little early on their arrival to Tahiti. Since Tahiti is in the Pacific, their are very few maps about the layout of the ocean and so most of the crew has no idea where in the world they are. Kind of pitiful if you ask me. Especially since this is around the American Revolution time era.
