We left Mopelia the day before yesterday and headed out for Roratonga. We started out very nice and easy, but that didn’t last long enough. After our dinner of lobster that Steve caught the winds picked up and shifted directly to where we’re going. So, change of plans. We’re still headed to the Cook Islands, but Aitutaki instead of Roratonga. 

After a day and half plus of winds in the wrong direction, things are looking up. I’m experiencing a little seasickness, but nothing too dramatic. I just feel a little dizzy and a little nauseous. Not bad enough to stop me from eating. Although, I must admit that this typing is getting to me a little, so I’ll cut this short

We’re safe and slowly slogging our way to Aitutaki. The skies are clear and the boat is pretty steady on a starboard tack. Susan is about to start up the Iron Gennie (the engine). The front sail is called a Genoa or Jib. So, the engine is the iron gennie.

We hope you’re all doing well.
