Tonga

We got a warm welcome from lots of our cruiser friends when we got into Tonga.

On the right are Dosia with their rib which we had broght from Niue. They had lost it near Beveridge reef 2 months earlier. A fisherman found it off the coast of Niue, recovered it and cleaned up the outboard.

Out for a celebratory dinner with Drew and Marcy from Dosia.

Humpback whales.

Babalu look on nervously as the Tsunami washes in and out between them and the reef. We were a few yards further out and so had less concerns. A couple of cruisers in the next bay grounded in the waves.


At the yacht club with Babalu and Libertace.
