Sunday we changed location. We thought we would try the eastern bays. We stopped on the way to fish but we are still convinced that there are no fish in Tonga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was low tide and we tried to cut through the Reef to the eastern bays. The charts were saying 15m deep water when in reality the scattered bommies were making it less than 1m below us, so we had to turn back. This meant we had to go outside the main Reef and back in further north. I had a line trolling out the back of Imagine as we went. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow! there is at least one fish in Tonga. I pulled in a Mackerel and that made a nice lunch for the four of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made our way back in through the Reef and ended up in a bay behind Neiafu (Vavau’s city). It was a quiet night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning Fabien and Nolwenn went ashore to Neiafu to get some bread bananas and beers, while B and I did some maintenance. Once they were back we set off for Kenutu island. I was on the helm, B was up the mast and Fabien on the bow guiding me through the reefs and bommies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This evening we went ashore to have sundowners on the beach, where we picked a couple of coconuts for the breakfast. After a walk along the beach the bitting insects drove us back to Imagine to have drinks on the back deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
