     Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

     I used to work on a small freighter (under SAIL, like actual wind power) transporting copra—coconut shell semi dried for oil pressing—between the Kiribati 🇰🇮 islands. We took measures to inert the gasses in the cargo hold to reduce risks of fire. Copra has a stupid low flash temp, so we also cooled the hold before opening for offload. Coconut is dangerous stuff.
