Our passage from Nuie to Tonga was uneventful – in fact it was probably one of our nicer trips with good wind and not too messy seas.  We seem to be so used to Bandit rocking and rolling!

 

We arrived off the island Vava’a at dawn and slowly made our way in tying up at the dock just on 9am.  The usual raft of officials came on board to clear us in – health, immigration, customs and quarantine – and $125 later  we’re all done.

 

The harbour is picturesque and hopefully there is good internet so we can catch up on mail, news, skype etc.
