Sept 20 - Vava'u, Tonga
Team Infini is safely anchored in Vava'u. We chose not to take a mooring, but are across the bay from the village of Neiafu. We had to motor in head seas in order to make our heading, or we'd still be out there tacking around, with yet more miserable weather on the way. As it is, we turned on the Perkins, finally dropped all sails, and entered the anchorage here in Vava'u at about 12 noon. Most of the anchoring areas are taken up by mooring balls, which incur a daily fee for usage, but we dropped anchor in 35' near the edge, heard the chain snub up on some coral, and decided to leave things as they are...for now. We've already checked into Tonga, but do need to show ourselves to Customs anyway here in Vava'u, so tomorrow we'll start exploring the area.

Just checking in to let you know we are still keeping track as you are in the middle of the great "So-pa" expanse. Hoping you have smooth sailing ahead and mostly sunny days! Mary Clare had a little girl on Monday (9/19). Her name is Julia. Thanks for the posts!
