We have just had an amazing week with our Grandson Eden (7) and my father Peter (87). Both did extremely well on board and luckily Tonga fronted up with some of the best weather we've had so far. Eden enjoyed himself and picked up driving the dinghy within the first 5 minutes of being here, he snorkeled, swum, drove the yacht, played on the beach with other yachtie kids, played and won dominos, nearly beat his Poppa at Backgammon and loved going fast being towed on the 'biscuit'. There were no tears or grumpy moments in the entire week and that goes for his Great Grandad too!
If you're interested we have more photos of their stay with us in the photo gallery.

If anyone has been looking for updates on this blog and noticed that it hasn't been happening very regularly it's because we are having way too much fun. The internet is only available in Neiafu and we are only 'in town' briefly, to race in the Friday night race (came in 2nd last night) and to provision, spending most of our time out in the outer islands.

The tsunami had a less devastating effect for us than in Niue Toputapu. We were warned 10 minutes before hand and didn't really take the warning seriously. We did however drop our mooring and meandered out into the deeper water, then watched as the beach became a waterfall and disappeared every 2 to 3 minutes over the next hour or so. This photo is of the beach in Port Maurelle if you know it, you would know that this reef is never uncovered.
