Crazy Horse just arrived at Raratonga today at 4pm. We were warmly greeted by other World ARCers. We had to med moor in some wild wind and weather. Thanks to Charles from Dreamcatcher and Stian from Ronja we tied up safely. It could have been very ugly without their help. Ronja is here along with Dreamcatcher, Brown-Eyed Girl, Jeannius, and A Lady. Ocean Jasper should be arriving early tomorrow am.
Everyone has commented on how this is such a warm and friendly island. Prices are much better here than in French Polynesia. We are joining the others at a local restaurant for dinner tonight. Since we haven't been off the boat yet today I will write more about this island tomorrow. We may stay here a couple of days until the weather improves. There are lots of confused seas now and forecast of bad storms. We were glad to get into harbor snug and safe. Of course it is always good to see some familiar faces.
Some of my blogs may be a little late in coming. There was some problem with our transmission. Hopefully they are caught up now. Our position was eroneously reporting that we were in the North Pole. We haven't seen Santa yet! Anyway hopefully all will be well tomorrow.
Rosemary, Bill and Matt
