25th/26th July, Neiafu, Tonga

Although Tonga is not at 180 degrees it is classed as being on the other side of the dateline so the day started of as Sat 25th and Sun 26th – Jonny is very upset because he feels he has missed some meals!!
We spoke to Christine Anne and Sunchaser as we approached the north end of the island – they are both on buoys at the town and we were looking forward to seeing them when we arrived. As we approached the harbour we radioed the Aquarium Café and got a mooring buoy and Russ (Christine Anne) came out in his dinghy to meet us and show us where it was.
Russ then took us over to Christine Anne for coffee and chocolate cake and Sunchaser came over with another chocolate cake. It was great to catch up with them again.
Back on the boat we tidied the boat up and put it all back to together. Luckily in the squall last night we only broke a baton in the main and we had a spare so Jonny was able to replace it.
We headed ashore with Sunchaser and Christine Anne to have fish and chips at the Aquarium which was yummy!!
