Day 120 Rainy day

Cleaning the boat.
Molly arrives tomorrow so we want everything to look shipshape. Our plan to get things cleaned in the morning was interrupted by rain throughout the day but finally we completed our work.
Mark's accountant from New Zealand has come to Rarotonga every winter since 1985 and he and several other families rent the same houses on the beach for two to four weeks. They had an extra bedroom so they invited Mark, Molly and Kendall to stay with them for a week. They also have several high school and college age daughters who were going to visit along with some of their friends.
Also staying at the house is another couple from NZ, Frank and Debbie. Frank is originally from Massachusetts but has lived in NZ for 20 years. He is a boat builder who builds large personal motor vessels. His current project is a 186 foot motor launch for a Russian oligarch.
The houses are in Muri Beach which is about 15 minutes by car so Kurt, Andy and I could stay on the boat and still be close if there was a reason to visit.
