It seems the trade off for the great winds for the sail over here was a cold overcast day with plenty of rain. Despite this we all had a lot of fun. In the morning we had the canoe racing. We formed a team of four with Mike from Callisto. We ran in the first heat and came second, half a boat length behind a team of fit men. Out of about 40 teams our time was overall 6th so we figured that wasn’t so bad.<\/p>\n

There were a number of other events of which some we missed watching due to being back on the boat. The day finished with some prize giving for event winners and a third and final Polynesian dance. During this dance, both Helen and I were separately pulled up to dance with the professional dancers.<\/p>\n

Big, big thanks to the organizers of the puddle jump. To anyone reading this following our wake I’d thoroughly recommend joining the puddle jump rendezvous for your crossing.<\/p>\n

We had planned a BBQ on the boat with friends but the weather was not up to it so we ended up having a needed restful night alone. At dusk a pinch of sky in the west turned blue giving us a nice sunset and providing a hint of the true beauty of this island.<\/p>\n
