Avatiu is the administrative seat for the Cook Islands. We arrived and medi-moored, clearing in was quickly done and we were free to wander round.

It was a school holiday so we quickly became a swim platform for the locals. Friendly bunch full of local knowledge.

The port was busy with several inter-island traders and one container ship.

Kapowai alongside. We were told that there was an excellent chippie close to the port so we had fish & chips for dinner that night. Very nice they were too!
