We are now in yeat another anchorage in the Vava'u group. We left Port Mourelle 2 days ago and spent the day yesterday at an island called Nuapapu which was reputed to have good diving. According to one cruising guide the local reef was supposed to be the best in Tonga but we found the water to be of such poor clarity we didn't go on the reef. Port Mourelle was a lot of fun we went ashore on our last night there for a bonfire and a bar-B-que on the beach with two other boat crews. Sven and Katrine from Solar Planet and Rod and Elizabeth from Proximity. The Admiral's Girl Scout skills were much appreciated as she organized the firewood gathering parties and built an excellent bonfire. We saw some huge fruit bats at dusk and a good time was had by all.
We left Nuapapu this morning in search of humpback whales which are reported to frequent this area but they seemed to be hiding today and not a one was spotted.
Perhaps tomorrow we will be luckier. Ovalu Island is about perfect, with a white sand beach, crystal clear water and a reef to dive on later today.
