| DREAMCATCHER VOYAGE Photos for Journal 17-South Cooks Aitutaki and Palmerston |

| Aitutaki, Cook Is. |
Approaching Aitutaki in a grey dawn and coming face to face with the monthly supply ship & barges, preventing us from entering the
channel and commiting us to anchoring out for nearly a week - close the reef, and eventually with our anchor stuck on it! But a wonderful
view of the channel and reef fisherman, plus, 2 friendly giant sea turtles.
