lagoon 22:08 UTC 06 Apr 2013 | If you are still searching out transport to Pukapuka, and the Kwai's planned voyages don't fit with your timing etc, a further 2 options include the Picton Castle sailing vessel which plans to remain around Cook Islands waters and the Pacific for the remainder of this year. Alternatively, the long-awaited Tiare Taporo (30 passsenger berth) ship should be entering Cook Islands waters over the next couple of months. This vessel also plans to operate in the Cook's EEZ undertaking inter-island freight/passenger voyages. | 2
