Back to Niue

We are on our way back to town so we can take in the Saturday market and begin the process of checking out of Tonga and checking into Fiji by Monday. There is a huge packet that has to be sent to Fiji by way of email, and the Tropicana is set up to help the yachties with all of that. 


We said our farewells to Brandy and Marc yesterday and once again, a sadness filled my being. It was very fun exploring Suwarrow, Niue, and a few of these islands with them, and our passages from each of the Pacific Island groups were so special because we could communicate with them, laugh and groan about all the sail changes we were doing in the process, and just feel safe traveling with them. We had interesting conversations with them, and for me, it was great to have some female companionship. It reminded us of our wonderful times with Richard and Virginia on Mandy, and again, we now have some great memories and good friends we can visit somewhere in the future. There are a few boats leaving for Fiji this next week so we do hope to move somewhat together.
