Like Gibraltar, Bermuda and other remnants of Empire, the Pitcairn Islands (there are four, but only Pitcairn is inhabited) are still a British Overseas Territory, and thus still subject to British law. One by one, we jump from the longboat and on to Claymore II. And if I lose my footing I’ll slide all the way down, hundreds of feet down, to certain death on the rocky shore. The pathway to the cave climbs higher and higher. Far below me is a magnificent sweep of coastline, where there are hundreds of coconut palms, a rocky shoreline and the sapphire-blue ocean. The sea became their larder, and fish a staple of the Pitcairners’ diet. We’re on the tip of the ridge. The intensity of the colour and the boundlessness of the sea emphasises the Pacific ocean’s enormity. The day after I arrive, a fellow traveller, Dave Evans, calls by and offers to give me a tour of the island on his quad bike. The island’s flag – dark blue with a Union Jack of Britain in one corner and a green coat-of-arms in the centre – and the full Union Jack, fly from poles alongside the boatshed. In the longboat is a petite, bare-footed woman wearing a T-shirt and shorts.
