Life is Hard (Not!) in the South Pacific

We just got an email and a few of pictures from Chris, so I thought I'd post some of it here to fill you in on his latest adventure. He has been working as a deck hand on a tall ship in New Zealand; they just left there three weeks ago headed to the Cook Islands, the first stop on their six month South Pacific voyage.

Here's what at least some of the passage looked like from the ship. . .


And here is Chris looking very happy to finally see land--Rarotonga--after the long, sometimes wet passage:


These are from a snorkeling trip to Aitutaki that a local took Chris and his friend on:




Greg and I are enjoying his trip vicariously...what fun!
