Dateline Neiafu, Vava’u Tonga 12 July, 2014
In a move that shocked the cruising community, the sailing yacht Legacy with Rich and Cyndi aboard departed Neiafu today bound for outer anchorages. “I expected them to be stuck in Neiafu for at least a month, maybe more” says Timor Fugury, a long-time sailing analyst. Fugury’s analysis was largely based on Legacy’s previous record of hanging on to a Neiafu mooring like old gum on a Reebok. “It seems this year is different” said Fugury.
Tonight Legacy is just east of anchorage 16 (those who’ve been to Vava’u know to what this refers). When Legacy was reached for comment, they said “we plan to cruise around for the next week or so before returning to Neiafu for more pizza.”
