Hi Folks,
We have finally cut the root holding us to
buoyNo 23 in Neiafa harbour,checked out and moved off to Port Maurelle ,
anchorage no 7 , cleared customs,port captain and immigration , food
shopped,watered up the tanks so we should be ok till we reach Nuku'alofa in the
southern end of the Tongan group of Islands, nothing to report today as it was
all pretty mundane stuff , we are anchored for the night , bottom not to good
though , sand over coral heads .. ugh , still I have put down 80m of chain
and dived on the anchor it is partially buried even going astern at full
power it doesn't move .
Tomorrow we start to explore the islands
properly , Swallow cave is first on the agenda at this anchorage , a few other
boats we know are coming round to this location so we are looking at going to
another cave complex called Marinas .. all exciting stuff ..
The excited
ones
