COMMENT: Beach House – MOORED – Port Maurelle – Vava\’u, Tonga
We\’ve done our local shopping and fueled up in Vava\’u. Internet is just \”okay\”. We moved about 5 miles to an outer anchorage to
stage for our trip to the Ha\’api Group tomorrow.
We\’ll catch up with old friends Lanny and Ginger on \”Swiftsure\” and Rijnhard and Lisa on \”Enchanter\”.
\”Enchanter\” will be heading directly to Vuda Point in Fiji and \”Swiftsure\” will be heading north to the Marshall Islands
instead of South to New Zealand as most boats do. After a brief stay in the Ha\’api where we hope to see the whales (this group of islands in Tonga IS Whale
Central), we\’ll head off to Savu Savu, Fiji.
Our next update will be from the Ha\’api and hope to have reports of Mother Whales and their Calves.
KIT,
Scott and Nikki
