    The float yeah and that’s how they spread, but the coconuts were mostly brought by ships.

    A coconut is really good on a ship 500 years ago, you have fresh water, some nutrition, etc.

    Some ship gets destroyed with a load of coconuts on board and so it began probably.

    Then when even the first ones have taken root, they start floating from isle to isle themselves.
