One day into our passage to New Zealand, light
winds so are not going very fast.
We had a fantastic time in Pangiamoto at Big Mama's
Yacht Club. Happy hours, BBQ and a big birthday/farewell party. There were
around 40 boats at the time so lots of people, Big Mama roasted several pigs and
lots of other food. She also gave all the boat a basket with Tonga food for on
the way. We hope to go back again next year, even if it is just to see Anna (Big
Mama) Earl, Lolo and the staff. Lolo took us around the island and told us a lot
about Tongan culture and history.
So now around nine days at sea and then New Zealand
and home...
