Safe Arrival in Tonga! After a very fast passage, we covered the voyage in 28hrs, averaging over 10kts in a 24hr period. It was great trip arriving in daylight and clearing customs all in the same afternoon. Tonga is magnificent, very high bluffs and rocky islands sprinkled with white sand beaches and friendly people. We're looking forward to exploring her over the next two weeks! We gave Paul Tetlow (rally control) a lift here, and he reeled in a good size skipjack tuna to earn his keep. Only the fast ones catch 10kt lures...not my favourite fish but good to eat none the less.
