2nd August, Lisa Beach, Tonga

After a Sunday morning lie in we headed ashore to drop off our garbage before heading out to the anchorages.
The Vava'u group of Tonga is made up of lots of small islands all within a day sail of the main town. According to the Moorings (yacht charter company) map there are 42 anchorages within the islands and we are planning to spend the next couple of weeks exploring some of them.
Today we headed to anchorage no. 10 - Lisa Beach which was a couple of hours from town. We saw whales on the horizon today making some big splashes but they weren't close enough to see properly.
The anchorage is one of the quieter ones with only 2 other boats in it. It is well protected from the strong tradewinds we have at the moment as it is surrounded by tall cliffs.
We spent the afternoon reading and swimming before having tea and watching a dvd.
