# Online Pitcairn has updated with information on people arriving and leaving on the MV Polar Stream. There's also a video of Miss T, Pitcairn's resident tortoise.

# The Picton Castle is nearing Pitcairn Island. A recent Captain's Log entry has details and photos.

But no one is more excited than Pania Warren. Why? Because for Pania, Pitcairn Island is home. At age 18, Pania is a natural-born sailor, having grown up on boats at Pitcairn. On our first trip in 1998 Pania, who was 11, visited the ship wide eyed. On our second and third trips, Pania came out to the ship, stayed on board the whole time, and hung around with the crew who had the watch. Always running around in the rigging, she was and now she is a crew in this ship. Always willing and cheerful and not a little cheeky, Pania is sailing to Pitcairn Island in a sailing ship, something Pitcairners haven't done in some time, not since the days of the copra schooners in the 1930s.
