"I had the pleasure and privilege of spending a couple days with Eric Bevington at his home in the south of England in 1992. We reviewed his journal line by line. He traced out his routes and activities on a map of the island on the coffee table in front of us. We still have that map and a video of the entire interview. The canoe trip with Maude didn't go much south of Bauareke Passage. The wells were dug at the west end where the village would later be established" (Gillespie, Forum).
