Since Martin left us the weather has changed back
to mainly nice tropical weather.We spent almost a week in Neiafu,enjoying the
safety of this protected harbour,gathering with other cruisers(we are 7 Swedish
yachts in Tonga for the moment).Three days ago we left Neiafu for the
archipelago of Vavau.First visiting Port Morelle,we are now in the bay of
Hunga,which is a very tranquile and nice/protected anchorage.Onboard we are now
quite international with Thierry from France and a new crewmember:Colin Doig
from the UK.The question is how we shall arrange our guestflags on the port
spreader.The Tricolor has been dominating there for several weeks,but now we
have to decide where Union Jack shall be placed.Below or on top of the
Tricolor??
Today we went outside the reef for
spearfishing,with a very nice reef and the presence of a black tip tail shark
and a sea turtle.Yesterdays sunset was marvellous with all the djunglesounds
from ashore,and the big bats you find in Tonga,flying over the
trees.
Grib files show restored tradewinds on Sunday,and
the plan is to leave for Fiji(450Nm) on Sunday or
Monday.
