We arrived yesterday morning after a steady two nights on passage.  Quite a big swell but nothing too uncomfortable most of the time, good wind all the way and only one dump of rain.

The most difficult bit was going alongside the quay to check in with the Customs, immigration and heath authorities and then even more difficult to get off because the wind was blowing us smack against the concrete.  Moana Roa had thrown a line to Adina to pull them off.  We had a lot of people pushing hard and we slithered backwards off the wall and then with full power managed to turn the boat before we got too close to the reef.

Harry had reserved a buoy for us in the mooring field so we are back among many friends and enjoyed gathering on shore last night for happy hour.

A lot to do, including a huge amount of laundry, before Hugh arrives in two days.
