Dateline crossed!
Looks like they've crossed the dateline. We've been asked by the film company to be ahead of schedule if at all possible so as there is a big high with slight winds, they have Henry pumping. The good news is that Henry is well and no problems reported (regular Tucker followers will be recall last year's limp in to Hawaii!).

Today's message reports that Russell's son, Riley Joseph Conrad (aged 10) is a very able seaman - which must be of great joy to Russ. Aiden is apparently cooking chocolate biscuits (Kelly do you have a good family recipe?). The comment about Tess is that she has glamour. A challenge to decipher what Russ means by this, but with the earlier shower comment one can only guess that she might be trying to impress either Manton or Max :-) ... just joking all you mums reading this!

They are making good progress and hope to be in Rarotonga in good time to meet their schedule.
