Our walk to the Western Union Bank is entertaining. First we have to power the dingy over to the main wharf (a long dirt embankment extending out into the lagoon) and find a parking spot. This simple task is complicated by the fact that the much awaite…
All’s Well
And a good time was had by all. Wedding went perfectly, Canada was awesome. We had a humpback come hang out with us for about 1/2 hour one afternoon as we were trolling for salmon. We cut the engines and just drifted – he stayed with us, seemingly inte…

Stick Up.

Niuatoputapu, Tonga
Our 24 hour, overnight trip from Samoa to the first tiny island in the country of Tonga, Niuatoputapu, went relatively smoothly under the light of a full moon. We arrived in the anchorage at 9:30 am. But the tricky part is that Tonga is the first count…
