Rarotonga and Back-1200 miles to get a stamp

We've done a lot of sailing so it's time for an update. In April, May, and June we visited some of our favorite islands in French Polynesia: Moorea, Huahine, Bora Bora and Raiatea! Mid-way thru June we sailed 540 nautical miles to the island of Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Our time limit in Polynesia was up on the boat so we had to sail 5 days to the closest foreign country to get a stamp on our papers. Just so we could sail back to French Polynesia to stay another 2-3 years! It turned out that we loved Rarotonga so we spent 12 days. We arrived back in Bora on July 4th, just in time to see some of the Heiva competition traditional dancing! So there are lots of pictures in this update. Hope you enjoy!
