Sadly it’s time to move on…we have really enjoyed French Polynesia, but our visas are ending and hurricane season is approaching so we have to move on. We’ve arranged to meet Miranda in Fiji in September, but first we have to cross about 1500nm of ocean.

We leave on the first stage of our journey to the Cook Islands tomorrow, and the trip is about 550nm so should take us about 4 days. We have been waiting for a good weather window so hopefully we have timed it correctly - time will tell.

After that we will go to Niue, which is a tiny dot in the middle of a big space. Then Tonga; then Fiji…
All being well it should take us 5/6 weeks. Fingers crossed - what could possibly go wrong… 😑
