One Day at a Time
29 September 2010 | Neiafu, Vava'u Group, Tonga
Tonga Bob's
September 29
Life after regatta has begun as anticipated. Recovery proceeding apace. Listened to nets, dinked in for breakfast, internet and breeze shooting, returned to boat for yankee sun-cover sewing repair, took laundry ashore for wash, finished order for boat shirts, bought neck amulet (no, don't believe in luck) and returned home for this bit of fairy dust. Soon headed to Wonderland for dinner then Tonga Bob's for 5 pa'anga beers and Fakaladies (acquaintees of 801 Club on Duval in the Key of Bones will deduce performance species).
Pondering removal of boat to less distracting anchorage tomorrow barring end of life on Earth or inertia (as specifically applied, not the concept, which is generally well accepted). Vava'u is lousy with great places to drop the hook for diving, whale watching or hangin'. First stop will allow brekkies at a resort and visit to "Swallows Cave" (into which one may drive his dink, but where terns are resident guano producers). Speaking of flocking, as they tend to, 'kid' boats are mercifully easy to avoid, so expect to.
