Fair well Aitutaki its been fantastic

Dear all,
This is how the guide book describes Aitutaki,
"Aitutaki has a special sense of magic and tranquillity. The island's vast
lagoon is reknowned as one of the world's most beautiful, with crystal clear
turquoise waters and dazzling white sandy beaches. Aitutaki's scenic
splendour arises from its unique formation, which is part volcanic and part
coral atoll. " – every part true.

We all went to the Sunday church service, which happened to be Mothering
Sunday, the singing from the men and women truly came from their hearts,
emotional to see, and fantastic to be a part of it. – even if the service
was half in Cook Island Maori!!!
The cultural dancing and shows put on by the Cook Island voyaging society
were amazing. Seven 75 foot catamarans sailed into the tiny harbour, crewed
by 16 people from places such as Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia, each
with their own message about looking after the world and haka dance. An
event that happens every 20 years, so perfect timing and a privileged to
witness. The prime minster of the cook islands was here speaking to his
people the Aitutaki people put on a feast for everyone which we jumped right
in on!!!

We are setting sail tomorrow on the morning high water for the small country
of Nuie which should take around 7 days.

Our current position is

18 degrees 54 South
160 degrees 24 West

Lots of love,

Ocean Lady
