Following sea days when we enjoyed shipboard activities (watching great shipmates dance, for example, during the 5 o’clock dance hour shown in the last image here ) and leisure time to read and relax, we reached Cook Island and Aitutaki.
It is a beautiful island with a difficult tender transport—using the Lee of the island plus the Lee of the ship we were able to access tenders for the difficult journey ashore through a lengthy 45’ wide channel where only one vessel at a time could cross. Once there, we easily walked to a lovely lagoon area full of birds, shells, and beautiful scenery.
The next day was another Cook Island stop at Raratonga, but the captain felt it was unsafe to tender ashore and instead we are circumnavigating this lovely island paradise. This island view is shown at the top.
