Bora Bora

Ken arrived back from the wedding and despite the flights from hell had had a wonderful time. He got to see Amy, Rob and the kids and Kristen, Kyle and their kids and Mike which he enjoyed. He was able to participate in Aaron and Ashley’s wedding which was very special for him. They had a lovely wedding and we are happy for them that they found each other and I am sure have a wonderful life ahead of them I was sad to miss it but was thankful that we had enjoyed their company for so long in French Polynesia.
It was with a little sadness that we dropped Diana off at the ferry for her trip back. We had had a wonderful time together and she and I had managed to bike or kayak almost every day. The wind had been stronger than we had anticipated so we did not leave the anchorage but we were very busy exploring everything that it did not matter.
We now have Don and Marcie on board and we checked out today and will head for Raratonga tomorrow. It is 500 miles and so should take us between 4 to 7 days. Conditions look fine and with the extra crew it will be nice to be able to split the watches and get enough sleep on the passage.
Next time I update this we will be in the Cook Islands and although we have loved French Polynesia we look forward to our next stop which by all accounts is wonderful
