Hi All,
We're still at Pangomtu Island and havibg a fairly
social time of it with the rally crowd. Yesterday we took the boat back over to
Nuku 'Alofa and took a tour with a local named Wesley in his bongo Van. The tour
included a visit to a cave with an underground fresh water stream in which we
were able to take a swim. We also visited the blowholes on the southern side of
Tongatapu Island (spectacular) before topping up with fresh fruit and vege at
the markets.
Big Mama's at Pagiomotu has been a good base for
the last few days, but we are pretty keen to move on. Tomorrow Allan and Angus
depart for home, and we we will head across to Nuku 'Alofa for the last time to
pick up some fresh stores before we head for the Haa 'pai group on
Tuesday.
In the longer term plan we have decided not to go
to Samoa because of the extra passages it will entail, so instead we have signed
up to the next leg of the rally to Fiji which leaves Tonga in the middle of
June, which should see us in Savu Savu by the thrd week of the
month.
So far we are having a great time, Equinox seems to
be holding up pretty well so far.
Until tomorrow,
TTFN
