...But her old man's boat....Hmmmm....sounds fishy to me! Lets's say that Old Man Whitmore knows/has known about this "Island" and has been looking for it for a while now...he uses Desmond to navigate the exact bearings to the Island (that he learns from the LOG BOOK he wins at auction....REMEMBER that Ben said he will do anything to find and exploit the Island...Obviously he would to send his daughters lover to a certain demise...not to mention that Penny has been looking fro him...yeah right, just a trap to get him to make the Island visible and then of course "rescue" Desmond to find the Island of Youth...
