July 16 – August 5, 2014
We had a long, uncomfortable, five-day passage from Mopelia (our last island in French Polynesia) to Suwarrow (our first and only island in The Cook Islands), arriving on Monday, 21 July. Suwarrow was a packed anchorage, and we spent five very social days there before heading to Pago Pago, American Samoa. In Pago Pago we had a lot going on, including massive reprovisioning, 40 kt winds, anchor dragging, and Alex’s 13th birthday. Admittedly, we were happy to leave Pago Pago bound for Tonga the morning of Tuesday, 5 August.
