Easter Island Visit

We're watching the sun rise over Easter Island, the first land we have seen in a few days. We are 2237 miles west of Chile, 1290 miles east of Pitcairn Island. In other words, pretty far off the beaten track. People come here from all over the world to see the mysterious Moai statues, huge ancient stone figures scattered about the island.




We are anchored offshore. The seas are very rough. Passengers will go to and from shore on lifeboats, which serve as tenders in ports where we are not able to dock. Since we were here last year, I decided to stay on board. Watson is going ashore. Hopefully he will bring back some Moai pictures to share with us.
