An enjoyable week with our Grandson and his Great Grandad...

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.
