Catching-Up Part 2: The Cook Islands

So, as I mentioned last week, I spent a couple of weeks in the Beautiful Cook Islands. For those not familiar with them, they are a collection of Polynesian Islands not too far from New Zealand. If you ever have the chance to go, I highly recommend it! For those wondering what I did sitting on a beach with next to no internet? Got an awful lot of writing done...

And fishing!! 

You wouldn't know it from my books, but I spent a lot of my childhood on fishing boats! I've got to say The Cook Islands have some of the best deep sea fishing in the world. We went with Akura Charters and caught three mahi mahi (they were delicious!). Best part? We got a couple steaks and the rest were distributed to to local restaurants. We also saw a couple of humpback whales. 

The fish I reeled in back at the docks!

note: mine is bigger.
