29th July, Port Maurelle, Tonga

We headed ashore this morning to collect our washing and buy bread before heading off to explore the many anchorages in the Vava'u island group. Getting our washing back from CocoNet was like heaven - it had been washed, dried and folded and was a very nice treat after hand washing!!
We left the town and motored for half an hour to reach our first anchorage where we wanted to visit a nearby cave. We had lunch and headed to the beach. On the beach we got talking to a boat called Moon Glow who had been interested in our dinghy - there were a couple of New Zealand who had sailed up to Tonga for the season.
From the beach we decided to go and say hello to Chriselle who are friends of Christine Anne and Sea Dove. Keith and Diane are a lovely couple from New Zealand who have been circum navigating for 8 years and are now emigrating to Australia. By the time we left Chriselle it was 7pm!!
Back on Newt we had tea and watched a dvd.
