If our time spent in Rarotonga taught us anything, it's that it's all about who you're with, not where you are. With the arrival of our friends came a reintr...

when we're heading to a new place we
often don't know what to expect and
sometimes that really does not work in
our favor if you saw last week sailing
Journal you'll know that we were less
than enthusiastic about calling
Rarotonga our home for the next week but
with friends from home on route we knew
we'd have to fake it and
[Music]
so we're putting a lot of stuff
[Applause]
after dropping off luggage at the boat a
quick change in summer clothes and a
very important provisioning run we made
our way to the scooter shop to pick up
our adventure Mobile's for the week
while the boys were taking their drivers
tests
Morgan and I wasted no time getting
fashion tips from the locals custom what
do you think about all this despite
having made new friends at the scooter
shop it turns out I wasn't exempt from
taking a driver's test as well my god
that's terrifying
once the drivers tests were passed and
the sarongs were tied we took off to see
what Rarotonga was all about oh and for
the record I'm a very good scooter
driver it didn't take long for us to
meet a self-professed chief of Rarotonga
apparently he's the boss of the only
Anchorage on the island and he did not
grant us permission to take our boat
there but we didn't leave empty-handed
turns out the chief was a good start I'd
be honored
and the anchor had only 20 meters from
the reef on the second the second wave
to throw on the reef just on that any
anchor
I began go
yeah and he had water leak and
everything he was fixing his baggage and
coming in in this home it was very lucky
as story time ended the rain started we
went back to the boat only to find an
unwelcome surprise but we're looking for
it covers for the cockpit Bimini and
open up a couple of wards to find
there's water sloshing all over the
place underneath the aft cabin berth
it's salty so we're trying to figure out
what exactly it could be and that is how
we're spending Friday evening instead of
drinking beers with our friends so this
is boat life can you tell what that gunk
is yeah we couldn't either
so we hoped that if we just left the
problem would magically fix itself that
is how about problems work right
[Music]
okay so the first spot wasn't really our
scene but we heard about a local who
through secret acoustic Jam parties in
his backyard so we went to see if that
was fact or fiction
[Music]
so - have we broken the budget yet yeah
our friends are a bad influence huh
more money than we have scooters dranks
make bob's burgers and food it's it's
hard to say no when friends are here I
mean look at all those options
milkshakes fried fried stuff we left
more food yeah yeah
for the chicken patty
[Music]
it's a lot steeper than it looks on
scanner it only takes about two hours to
scoot around the entire island of
Rarotonga so to prolong our exploration
we stopped at every interesting turn
along the way we found an abandoned
Sheraton Hotel we couldn't imagine a
better place to let the boys well be boy
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
now we were just playing around in an
abandoned motel
obviously ignored the no trespassing
sign and all of a sudden two guys like
huge local men came out and start
screaming at us in like Rara tongan and
so we had to pull when we finally made
it back to the boat we realized the
adventure wasn't over just yet
our dinghy had flooded with water and
the point of entry was yet another
mystery at this moment we were really
happy Morgan and estin were also sailors
and weren't fazed by yeah that's what it
looks like so behind us and the friendly
people of Rarotonga came to wake us up
7:30 a.m. told us they're gonna use that
dock with all the tires told us we were
in the way because they couldn't get
through there
and give it to Jose for pushing back a
little bit and giving us all 1 more
hours snooze time but now they're all
sitting this there and waiting for us to
move when the other fishing boats rolled
out they all just pass by real hard
trying to rock the boat like wake sob
[ __ ] with us so yeah everybody on the
floor it's just kind of a dick right now
welcome to Rarotonga following our rude
wake-up call came a torrential downpour
but we weren't going to let the fellas
at the dock nor the weather stop us from
continuing our fun we had seen a
traditional dance performance the day
before and were keen to try a few moves
ourselves so we suited up in our rain
gear and had the boys drop us off at a
local dance studio
[Music]
did nothing but have coffee and they're
already learned all the penises
we're pressed
[Music]
we were having all the fun despite
warnings from the locals about the
dangerous reef and shallow waters we
went to see if there were any waves to
surf upon arrival we were met with a few
words for the record I'm just kidding
the before and after so you can't say oh
I didn't know
[Music]
but if he's got some Falls I hope I cut
very shallow
ah I just uh just cop got caught off
guard definitely took a little thump in
there
I was really scared of getting falling
on a sea urchin so I put my hand out to
try and stop me and yeah I got some
[ __ ] sea urchin on me ah it's in
there I've never had this happen to me
[Music]
push on me no I wouldn't I wouldn't do
that no I yeah maybe we should go down
to the clinic on the road no I probably
what I would do wait till we get back to
the boat and use a needle to scrape some
of the dead skin away and yeah then you
can get some kind of point sticking out
that you can use a tweezer to pull and
if you soak your foot in hot water
yeah that will help but I probably
wouldn't touch it I wouldn't push on it
[Music]
so what happened out there
I just trying to get
so we get a proactive shot of my buddy
Justin out there I got to close I am
about to seeing the wave coming I was
like I guess they got to catch it now
all I wanted to do is just not fall off
the board
that that kind of like we're Morgan
Aniston stayed back to enjoy the sliver
of sunshine that came out well Jose and
I headed off into town to take care of
the three black poisonous urgent thorns
stuck in his foot if he wasn't nervous
before the throngs of locals saying uh
very poisonous sure did the trick we
cleaned up the gashes and made our way
back to the boat for some adventuring we
were a little more accustomed to you
ready for this Weston I mean Jose on the
six-inch of water over the rocky leaf in
his paddleboard with no story it makes
me feel like I need to go Paul's out too
and it's inflatable paddle boy missing a
fin no steering
no booties no [ __ ] given zero your turn
Tigerettes not knowing any better one of
the reasons we love our friends so much
is that they're yes friends they're
always up for our crazy ideas and even
come with a load of their phone Eston
had heard about these dish of traction
devices in the water that the local
fishermen were using quite the spear
fisherman himself he wanted to take a
stab at it
and jumped in the deep ocean to catch
one of his own just kidding bad hundred
kilo Marlin is not ours right if Destin
got comfortable in the water a storm
front moved in and we had to book it
and what's going on well we thought it
was a good idea to whales and the
weather came up faster than we thought
now we turned around and we're running
from it running away I decide to go
faster this isn't really the sunny to
use in my tie sales trainee make lunch
we had time for one last adventure
before the weekend came to a close you
guessed it a hike we wanted to find the
highest peak on the island even if it
meant forging our own path and that's
exactly what we did
[Music]
[Music]
if the arrival of our friends taught us
anything it's that there's nothing more
important than the company you keep with
good company good times follow Morgan
Aniston we love you guys is this size
this what you thought it was going to be
like on a beach a big Rarotonga mamasan
was gonna bring me a coconut now make
sure that lobsters would be just falling
in my lap en la he mahi would be jumping
catching them midair just catching them
and infected that way so this is
old-school for them
that is not Will Ferrel okay
Morgan what's going on or do you call
that I send a home video yeah talent
show wait
