Tonga: Days like these...

There's something special about sailing up to a distant tropical island on a yacht with only 2 other people. Not really knowing how it's going to be, just going off 4 day old swell and weather reports, trying to get a closer look through the binocs as you stabilize yourself from the rolling swells and sip the morning coffee. And then you finally get close enough to see that you and the crew are going to get barreled off your nut for the next several hours and weird chemicals start running through your veins, you literally start jumping up and down and froth forms around the mouth, it soon gets hard to form complete sentences and you resort to primative hoots, hollars and screams of excitement as you get your gear together as soon as humanly possible, we're lucky we remembered to drop the anchor. It's days like these you remember for the rest of your life.
