17th August, Neiafu, Tonga

While we were talking to Drimea on our way to town the Moorings support boat told us he needed our mooring later in the day so we would have to move. We knew that Andy was leaving his Aquarium buoy sp we planned to take that once he left.
We headed into town and dropped off our laundry and paid for our mooring buoy from around the anchorage when we bumped into Andy. He was heading back to Calysta and leaving his buoy so we decided to leave the rest of our jobs so we didn't miss the chance to get his buoy … after we had been sat on Newt for over an hour he finally stopped whizzing round in his dinghy doing other jobs and left his buoy!!
Back in town we carried on doing our jobs getting ready to leave for Fiji on Wed before heading back to Newt.
Equinox had arrived this morning so we headed over to say hello – it was good to have the chance to catch up with them before we left for Fiji.
James, Miss Molly, radioed us to see if we wanted to head ashore for a drink and a game of pool so we wanted for a break in the rain and headed ashore. The bar with the pool table was closed so we went to the CocoNet Café instead and watched the torrential rain. Eventually the rain stopped enough for us to leave and we headed to Aquarium for some dinner. As we were leaving Equinox arrived at Aquarium and convinced us to stay for another drink.
