In New Zealand
We made it safe and sound to New Zealand. I have lots to write about the last parts of our time in Tonga, our passage to New Zealand, including more on Minerva Reef, and of course of our time here in New Zealand.

After a two day sail from Nuku'alofa, Tonga we arrived at Minerva Reef. Minerva Reef is a large reef in the middle of no where, google it on google earth and you will see what I mean. It is a popular spot for cruisers as it is a safe and comfortable anchorage and it breaks up the passage to New Zealand. We have been here for 3 days now awaiting a good weather window to continue our passage. As of now there are very light winds out there, not enough to sail by. Our weather router Bob McDavitt tells us that Tuesday November 5th) looks to be a good day to head out again. There are currently 11 boats anchored here all waiting for the same thing as us, so on Tuesday there may be a traffic jam at the pass out of here! It will be nice to have company as we continue to NZ
Yesterday we went snorkleing. There is an exposed wreck that made for a very interesting snorkle. The water is gin clear and the most beautiful color of blue. I saw several fish that I had not seen at the other islands we have been to. Also at low tide part of the coral reef is exposed so you can walk on.
