Just a few hours out of Bora Bora, we hit a solid wall of grey cloud cover that lasted the entire way to Rarotonga! There were a few blue patches thrown in, but I think that was just to get our hopes up so they could be dashed again! On top of all that, it rained most of the 3-day passage, too, and it got quite a bit colder as we moved to 21degrees south. It is actually about as cold as San Francisco! The weatherman said on Tuesday that for the southern Cooks the "Outlook is mostly nice" - I'd hate to see a not-so-nice day! We're tucked in at a commercial pier in a very tiny harbor, since all the stern-to anchorings were filled. A couple of the boats here were supposed to be leaving, but they've decided to stay because of the weather; and there's a container ship coming in tomorrow afternoon. So I don't know where we are going to put the boat, but we have to move. We'll be here until mid-week, with a planned departure for Pago Pago on Thursday Oct. 6. Hopefully the weather will clear up a bit by then. _________________________________________ Check your Email accounts at MyEmail.com Login from home, work, school. Anywhere!
