For the past 24 hours we have been outside what they call the satellite footprint, meaning we haven't had Internet or TV during this period. We are some 386 miles to the Northeast of Easter Island this morning and have pretty good connection now. Hopefully, we will retain communications. But, the South Pacific is noted for areas where there is no communication.
This is our 4th day at sea since departing Lima, Peru. Yesterday the winds reached 25 MPH causing pretty rough seas. The ship was rocking and rolling. We thought it was fun, but many passengers remained in their staterooms.
When we arrive at Easter Island tomorrow the ship will be utilizing tenders to transport us to the island. Looking forward to our return to this extremely remote location. Easter Island is one of the world's most isolated, yet inhabited islands in the world. It sits 2,000 miles away from both Chile and Tahiti.

Lima, Peru
Early today we arrived in Lima, Peru. We will be here for two days. I will Post more later, but currently having a real problem with my laptop computer. It stopped booting yesterday; then it booted, but has refused to boot today. So I am using the ship's computers which don't allow you to download any photos, etc. I have asked a friend in Auckland is he can scope-out any Netbooks that would allow me to again Post photos. So, looks like I will just be posting narrative for awhile, and add photos later after we get some new computer equipment.
