Cook Islands tender mishap

Cook Island stop.

Captain maneuvered from 7a til noon to get ship situated for tender. It is a port often missed because of swells.

I took circle island tour and came back to find a tender boat caught in the reef. We were in remote side if a small island. Some left by jumping in water and wading to shore with life jackets on. Others were trapped and waited for rowboat rescue or tugboat pulling tender two hours later.

I saw captain say hell never come here again because there are often problems.

He came in our tender back.
