It looks as if the log will be shipped by tomorrow so should be here next week. We can manage without the hot water - we are in the tropics after all . Bad weather for the next day or two so back on the mooring . Had a mayday this morning - a tongan fishing boat out in the pacific . The cruisers coordinated the search from here . Outcome a rescue with all safe .Flags at half mast this week because of the death of a tongan prince . WE will be here for the King's birthday in two weeks time . His palace here is being decorated and the bands and choirs are practicing
