Tonga: Farewell Hunga Lagoon

A few weeks ago, my time was up at the fishing lodge on Hunga Island, it was 2 months in paradise. Had an amazing time there. A special thanks to Caroline and Steve for letting me into their world for a while. What a wonderful place!

And my departure couldn't have worked out better, it just so happened that Nola was anchored on the other side of the lagoon, I hopped on board and have been a permanent fixture on the boat ever since. Next stop: Hapai. The next island group South of Vava'u. We'll be sailing down there next week. The Kiwi boys on Nola are helping organize a large coastal clean-up through Sustainable Coastlines. Also, the conditiuons are shaping up nicely for some really fun surf during the next few days!

It's interesting to be in a foreign land long enough to experience the seasons change, it's starting to get hot and wind-less here. All the "boaties" are leaving back down to NZ to avoid the Hurricane season, things will be getting really quite here in Vava'u over the next few weeks.

Life is good.
