SO, we have absolutely loved the Polynesian islands, but now it is time to move on.  To the Cook Islands.  We will be out of communications for at least 4 days, so not to worry.  Our Satellite phone is out of commission, in other words it is bust!!
We have just spent the most fab week here in Bora Bora.  Climbing up the peak to the top of the mountain on Bora Bora (check it out on line).  It was a very strenuous walk with some rope work.  There were 17 of us, among us 7 kids ranging from 5 years to 14, and most of them ran, but none on them were sore the next day, unlike us grown-ups!
I managed to have a quick dive with the sharks, and generally lots of parties.  We now have to leave our friends on Telos, and have to say we are all rather sad, but have had great fun with them, and hope to see them again one day, and not too soon. 
I shall write a more detailed blog with lots of pics, while on passage, but for now, here are a couple for you.
Until the Cooks....
