28th July, Neiafu, Tonga

We waved goodbye to Christine Anne and Sunchaser this morning as they headed off Fiji – it was great to catch up with them for a couple of days.
We headed over to say hello to Sea Dove who we had met in Bora Bora and felt guilty because we got them out of bed!!
We headed ashore to drop off our laundry and get some fresh fruit and veg from the market. We had arranged to meet a local craft guy to go to his workshop to see some of his carving work but when we met him in the morning he had a job to do and we agreed to meet again at lunchtime.
We headed back to the boat for lunch and then went back ashore to meet the local guy (Tui). We walked out to his house and workshop and he showed us some of the projects he had in mind. He didn't really have any work to show us but it was amazing to see his house and the views he had.
For the rest of the afternoon I did internet jobs whilst Jonny filled in our customs form for Fiji and then we headed ashore for a drink.
We have hopefully sold our spare dinghy from the UK – we just need to blow it up and check that it is working ok as it has been deflated in the cockpit locker since St Lucia.
