We’ve been in Tonga four weeks and we’ve loved every day here. It’s been a magical place. We spent the first three weeks in Neiafu harbor at a mooring ball. The first of those weeks was Regatta Vava’u and it was an amazing party with about 90 cruising boats participating. The party slowly tapered off over the next two weeks. Last week, we managed to cast off the lines and get out to the surrounding islands and motus to explore. We returned to Neiafu today to provision for our trip south to two other Tonga island groups before setting out in mid November for New Zealand.
