It even rains in Paradise. The forecast for the next 5 days are high winds and rain. There isn’t much to do in these conditions except find somewhere very sheltered and sit it out. What a dream life being stuck in a boat with the wind whistling and the rain falling. No visibility to go snorkeling, just play cards and wait.
We first chose a bay sheltered from the wind but the waves crept in. Disappointed by our choice we end up in Neiafu Harbour with 30 ofher boats. No safe mooring boy available, but we found a well sheltered anchorage a bit away from the crowdy city side. There has been a break in the rain, long enough for us to get ashore and buy some fresh fruit and vegetables. We think we will stay here until the bad weather passed. But as usual we take it day by day and see what happens.
