in our last sailing Journal we spent

three days on the island of Bora Bora

voted year after year the most beautiful

place on earth you would have loved to

have had more time to explore but we had

sent him home on route to meet us in the

Cook Islands and we still had a four-day

sail in front of us so we are on almost

on our third day at sea so no on

expected or on our second day well we've

had few nights tonight

second a good firing the limb picked up

but we're going super fast gone eight

point one eight seven six wins ik not

come very fast holy [ __ ] Ronnie nice

team reach which is our folks table in

sales this morning

well last night we can't think I was

sleeping or on lots out of here last

night and you can you say it

they were vote sleeping no we're

we're south of any logical route to any

boat with it there's no reason to be

this far south most creatures are going

to go explore the island north of us

we're bypassing all that and going way

for the south and anybody would and any

fishing or commercial boat like nobody

should be out there is no reason good

let's go Colton yeah and then so we work

with me I heard a thump that didn't

sound right I'll call it something foul

down inside and nothing did then it

heard another something merely after

basically something hit a hole and hit a

runner or either lame so I look down at

Polly's life buoy

in some fishing believe I got cut off

what happened sorry the little

nerve-wracking look scary well yeah

we've all seen a Oliver

yeah day one was thanks to the heart I

don't know why we've haven't been a

fascist in a while

I don't know what I wasn't looking this

is wearing terrible well the sea state

was like a little confused yeah so it

hasn't been sailing in a long time

[Music]

[Applause]

just to life an anchor well this is a

little tricky so this is how awesome

because it is rocking and rolling making

a full-on meal in here um conform hash

potatoes and eggs

she she's definitely the rocks out of

the month last at the time from the

beautiful that is

[Applause]

she just ate a big-ass breakfast and

he's asking to my humble what time is it

B we are under 20 hours away from our

definition we're kind of sick of all the

turbulence outside but we have gotten

awesome projector setup and we're just

going to lay down pretend nothing's

happening outside and have a little a

little bit of a movie move now howdy

this is the [ __ ] I was absolutely now

here I was a lot like real out men

rarely

wait that was the cedar plug $4

yeah oh that's a bummer day seven ago

mine PC PC

[Applause]

come on Pacific use my coat mrs. Scott

must've worked because ten weeks later

we were reeling in a nice big momma nice

[Music]

we are on day three of our four-day

passage and a few things that always

strike us as particularly amusing when

we go underway is that the boat no

matter how clean it was before we laugh

everything turns into a complete pigsty

the second that we set sail that

includes us so we've got like cabins to

just get totally out of control

we've got with exactly the controls and

everything trying to shower when the

boat is rocking back and forth and back

and forth requires some seriously

advanced acrobatics

that no one's really willing to do so

you end up staying in the same clothes

for days at a time and showering while

we could do it this just feels like it's

more work than it's worth

so brush our teeth and change our

underwear and then just say that will

clean up ourselves in the boat when when

we get Tholian so don't worry afternoon

Morgan by the time we see you we will

smell good and the both of you proper

so is that a lot of work

until then

we're about 15 minutes away from the

entrance to the Rarotonga harbor and we

really have no idea what to expect a few

guides that we do have and these guides

are all a cruiser generated so it's just

people's accounts of things we've

experienced in the past and the guides

that we have read everybody is saying

something different on what to expect

some people say that your vote will get

forwarded by the customs officials and

you'll have to throw it all of your

fresh fruit and meat

other people are saying you might have

to tie up your boat to a tree if there's

no space on the dock but just like all

sorts of crazy things so we really

really don't know what to expect we're

kind of in a little bit of a freakout

mode and so the first time since leaving

Mexico we have an abundance of fresh

produce thanks to our last provisioning

run in French Polynesia and I'm in a mad

rush to cook everything so that it will

be prepared food and not fresh food it's

a lot going on so we'll see what happens

okay we didn't know what to expect but

we really didn't expect what we got and

that's this will be home for the next

week

so skipping container as you can see

we're moving more than we would at sea

if we're not sexy

we are anchored out and I think we're

better off than any of the boats turn

tide here let's hide on the dock to be

honest that's a lot

well worth part of it is we're paying

for this unfortunately we couldn't get

off the boat just yet we had a mess to

clean up

how many times have we tried to organize

under this table in the last hour

like would you say we've tried like

three times ten times yeah exactly

well the fix is now almost empty so this

is it we've arrived in Rarotonga this

was extremely stressful for me anchoring

here is a very very very small space and

we're supposed to anchor probably right

there by the Med mooring like along

there but I don't think we have lines

there long enough and strong enough for

that so we opted to anchor our ready

front of this guy instead ah we

definitely made sure we set well because

we are right at the entrance of the past

but I guess I guess we don't really have

a choice we've been calling customs on

the radio for the past four hours it's

11 responded you're not supposed to go

to land around quarantine so I we got

our quarantine flag but I don't know for

more great the rules and we go get them

or or what we do because they're not

responding already

so I just woke up and the only one awake

its flooring inside and of course we got

a leak here and there and worst of all

Oh

we're right by this buoy not a good

thing not where we should be

so here you can see what's going on we

were over there when we went to bed

and now we'll right there and that's the

wreath right there the interest of

harbor that's what I green flashing

light is so basically when the squall

comes through that comes do it totally

different wind direction and what I was

worried about going on day good morning

not so good morning we're not at sea

anymore

it is slap you would not notice that

we're not at sea we're moving more than

we did it see what's a rating of a

Rarotonga so far from one to ten

negative for miserable I hate this place

like we're moving more than we did

underway I'm seasick in bed I don't

really get seasick I feel like I'm going

to get fit and well let's go for one

going for a run means we've got a paddle

over is nothing an output in the water

fear success your paddle over in a half

board in choppy ass water and then it's

dock there's just like roaches I don't

know what they are but they're like

sounds in the bugs with all underneath

the stocked freakin disgusting and like

there's no dingy doctors then you just

slapping up against the concrete every

time I can will fell in the water

yesterday

yeah we'll most popular thing it will

pop their dinghy

we hate rubber comics and they charge

you to be in here no that's part good

aren't you

what like three dollars a foot charge

you two dollars and 20 cents a meter so

we're 12 meter boat so it's going to be

25 bucks a day

it's so ridiculous they charge you like

we're anchored in hell

okay there's no protection there's no

water there's no dental facilities

you're a flower they give us a key to

the bathrooms they charge us ten dollars

for the key

yeah and it's disgusting it's like

taking a shower a porta potty

I think the camping sites we went to oh

my god are you kidding

sozin's are nice yeah like camping in

Utah is like luxury this is gross

I wouldn't put my naked body in that

shower sometime I covered body in that

shower is plate but what do we find some

cheap what beer yeah - booth I guess if

we can drink our pains away but when

you're this nauseous laying in bed like

you don't really want to drink anyway

and everything smells like fried

something like deep fryer all right

gene has a morning complaint sesh I'm

sharing my feelings she was sharing our

feelings let's see if this changes to

the next week so please that's not

happening we're not my time of that and

then they want you to get on and off the

dinghy on those ladders

[Applause]

you know almost fell in the water by the

way getting off the boat for the first

time ever look at that look at that

[Music]

about the whole situation do I think

that Rarotonga is one nightmare after

yeah that's a [ __ ]

like that let's not sugarcoat it

welcome to a lon

with immigration and boat cleaning out

of the way we only had 24 hours to

complete our chores before our friends

arrive on the list refilling our propane

exchanging money replacing our spare

parts and provisioning New Zealand money

well buzzkill moment right see what

we've been taking our prices for a past

day we've got two eyes two eyes the US

dollar was stronger than both the

Australian dollar and the New Zealand

dollar so we've been walking around by

stuffing and things being really cheap

to us and we're very excited and finally

we found a place where prices for

quarters two American places that we

print the bank and she told us we're

only getting 66 cents for every 76 cents

per US dollar seventy six cents every us

now it's clothing is very mortgages we

got our introduction to Rarotonga was a

bit rough but with the arrival of our

friends came the reminder that with good

company comes good times no matter where

you are stay tuned for more adventures

in Rarotonga next week until next time
