Uneventful night for the most part. Yesterday was cloudy and grey, but today we had beautiful sunny weather. As we get closer to Tonga, the water temperature continues to climb and is currently a balmy 29.6 C.

We took advantage today to do a bit of maintenance and Andrew got out and washed the salt off the windows. Today and tomorrow we will be negotiating the coral shoals surrounding Tonga. Saw a few flying fish today but not much else. Still practising fishing so Sue is in the galley tonight making Shepherd’s Pie. Little Tony: your estimation of number of days left before reaching Tonga was correct.

Rockin’ and Rollin’ (literally) from the South Pacific.
