The restaurant last night was authentic spanish
with owners who came from Valencia and produced delicious tapas and paella as
well as singing and castanets. It was a treat to get ferried there and back
instead of sitting in our [still] flippy floppy dinghy which needs pumping
before each journey.
Set off on Friday morning and have 15/20 knots of
wind behind us so are cracking along. Downside is intermittent
rain.
I dont know about the rest of Tonga but the Vavau
group of islands where we were are a real gem. I had never heard of them until
we were talking to people in the Cook islands and deciding where to go.

I'm in the doghouse because my forecourt attendant
skills were such as to spill a small amount of diesel onto our bed in the front
cabin. The boat stinks, but is slowly getting better.
